When using the editor to create links the formatting is normal.

When using the url tag to create links the formatting is strong.

The strong formatting gives inline links and links an emphasis which is not intended.

The strong formatting for url tags can be removed manually using the html editor.

Even so I would prefer it was not there by default.

Is it possible to remove it?

Thanks,
gzt

This topic is linked from the "Friends" section on the Geekzone homepage... and the "strong" in the subject is making the rest of the homepage bold :)

Did tag formatted links without the http like the above work before the change?

No. We respect what the user put in there. Garbage in, garbage out. If you want correct link, remember to add http:// to it.
