links in comment section do not function correctly??

[clair]

Hi --
Coppermine up and working fine, but I've now had two different comments posted resulting in the same problem with a hyperlink -- The user enters something like this
>>
Very nice picture, it remembers me another one I saw on (...) Business Card Designer Plus 9.0.0.0, (...) recently.
<<

where the words between the parens is meant  to be a link, but it resolves to the following when clicked:

http://(...)/

The first time it happened I thought it was just the users fault and ignored it, but now with the second occurrence, I wonder.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
Cliar

I forgot to say, that the comment appears correctly, i.e. the words meant to be the link are underlined and look like a link (the (...) do not appear.

Sorry for having to post twice for the same question.

use bbcode instead of html (gets replaced due to security reasons)

Hi Stramm --
Thanks for your reply. I have now, I think, gone through all the possibilities for configuration and can find no way to set "bbcode" for visitors/users to the site.so that links they might offer in comment section appear correctly. As for
security, I have it set that nothing goes in that I haven't okayed.

If there is an option for setting this for users/visitors, I can't find it. Could you point me to where it can be set.

Many thanks --
Clair
