Any news on whether we can still post URLs after midnight?

Don't do that SV! I thought it was the Italics coming to take away our posting privileges.

Well, yes Santra... but will this excellent experiment with allowing URLs in forums continue after midnight tonight, now that the month is up?
Please say yes, nice Editor people!

Just moments ago I posted a comment about today possibly being the last day of the trial, and seconds later this conversation pops up to the top of my conversation list.
Thanks, Santragenius, now I don't have to go looking for it.
So is this the last day of the trial period for URLs in conversations?

Mark's on holiday for a while, so nobody's turning off URLs right away.
And I'm pretty sure the trial has been a complete success.
