At the top of the list of threads for the Resident Answers forum there are some threads that are what are called "Stickies", threads made to stay at the top of the thread list.
One of these is "BBCode Emulation in Greasemonkey" , at /327/b2/188445/1.html , which addresses this problem. If you use Firefox, you can install the Greasemonkey add-on as described in that thread and then go to userscripts.org and install the "BBCode in Text" script as described in that thread. Greasemonkey and the BBCode in Text script will also work in Google Chrome and I believe it can be made to work in Opera with a slight modification to the script. You can of course highlight and copy the text of an url and paste it into your browser's address bar. If you use Internet Explorer, there is a similar solution to making links clickable, which is described in a post near the end of that thread. There is also an Internet Explorer add-on that might be of some value at “Preview and Launch URL“. _____________________

No no - they're launching an all-better, all-beautiful new BLOG. I get the sneaking suspicion (since it was mentioned they want the blog back as their means of "two-way communication"
 that it means good-bye forum, too._____________________

There's talk of a "Yahoo Answers style" forum Q&A system in the VTeam blog, I wonder if this will include that.
It would be nice to know what the software is going to be. _____________________
