Anti-spam: blocking links

Apologies for this change, it's going to be annoying for regular posts as well.

But I'm blocking "http" entirely from posts, so if you (as a regular, non-spamming person) want to post a link to a resource somewhere online you'll need to drop the "http" bit from the start of the address, and it won't be a clickable link.

So instead of a full YouTube link, for example, do just this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7ZU3pxs8G4

...anyone who wants to see the link will need to paste that into a browser.

Yes, this is ridiculous, but I'm hoping the volume of junk will drop off, and give us more time to figure out a better solution.

It's all good if it means getting the forum back on track. I know you guys lament a lack of posts but I have so many questions and I only held back because I didn't want to swap the board but now that I know you want queries then I'll gladly throw all my questions your way.

Removing "h.t.t.p://" from the URL to the picture you want to upload will allow the picture to be shown directly inside your post !!
