right this automatic parsing of links in forums - super smiley - cool BTW - but for the named links like Askh2g2 ThePost, PeerReview do the names have to be exact with capital letter and such or will they be automatically transferred so long as there are no spaces or dash or whatever?

For instance if I wanted to nip over to askh2g2 right now - just like that I'd type it into my address bar, I wouldn't bother capitalising the name - my question is will this matter or effect the new linking system?

smiley - erm

Caes is irrelevant, so you can link to askh2g2, ASKH2G2 or any combination. But it looks nicer if you use Askh2g2 etc. smiley - ok

the bit in your browser (Freeserve, AOL, BT etc.) where the URL's (like http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide go) these are also called address - hence Address bar.

smiley - ok
