It's not actually a godaddy issue for once.
its more to do with phpbb and how it parses its own links.
here is an example of links to this topic with and without www
viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2318366 <- recognised as internal link and made shorter
https://phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.p ... &t=2318366 < - not recognised as internal link
sorry but the reason the second link opens in a new window is because of code I added to viewtopic to open external links in a new window.
Code: Select all
$message = str_replace('<a class="postlink" ', '<a class="postlink" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"', $message);
So the question is how to make phpbb recognise and format the link without www as internal, I just cant find which file handles this and adds "postlink-local" css class to the first url and makes it shorter.
while forum has been running a lot of members have been copying and pasting links to other topics from browser address bar so theres lots without www. doing a find and replace in the db is an option but id prefer a code solution to stop it possibly happening again.
