Default Embedding hyperlinks in YORF posts

On YORF, why do normal html links not work?

Example:
<a href="http://plans.rocketshoppe.com/estes/est2013/est2013.htm">Estes Recruiter, kit #2013</a>

Instead, you have to use the [ URL ] and [ / URL ] syntax to enclose a hyperlink:
Estes Recruiter, kit #2013

I'd guess that vBulletin is "sanitizing" the HTML code. Not all forum software allows embedded HTML code.

If you use the advanced post editor (either press the Go Advanced button under the posting box, or go to your control panal options and set it to always use advanced and then it will show when you press the Post Reply button) you can just highlight the text you want to be a link and then press the little Earth icon and input the URL... it will auto generate the hyperlink for you. It may sound like more trouble than just writing in the code, but once you've done it a couple of times it's near effortless.

Thanks for giving that tip, Daniel.
