Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Global link issue

I've lately been running into the issue that I need to edit forum links, because for some reason they get duplicated, resulting in invalid links.

This happens with the user, forum, topic and post BBCode tags.

Issue

I've been experiencing the same issue on another websites, with different browsers too, and some friends have experienced the same, so it isn't a forum-only nor personal issue.
I'd still like a check for this since I simply don't know what's going on.

Re: Global link issue

What browser are you using? Sounds a bit like something that could happen when IE or Edge decide to do something differently to other browsers and the specification for no apparent reason...

No, I'm seeing it over here, too, on Firefox.

Chromium, Firefox and the default Ubuntu browser. (yes, using Ubuntu here)

A friend on Windows had the same issue on Chrome.

Re: Global link issue

Oh ok, I guess something is normalising the path wrong then? Putting in the whole url any time it starts with /, instead of just the protocol when it starts with //

Re: Global link issue

I guess the topic title isn't as striking, or that I shouldn't be who makes these.

Re: Global link issue

The global link issue is fixed.

So's the empty hide tag trick.

Yeah that's basically what's going on. The forums check if the link already has a protocol set, if not it tries to tack one on. Specifically, if it starts with a / it assumes it's a path relative to the forums and tacks on the domain name. I made an exception for double slashes, which should fix the post, topic, user, forum, all those bbcodes.
