Add URL feature to Quick Reply Box
Anybody else here would like an URL tags button on top the quick reply box ? There already are bold, Italic, Underline and Quotes buttons. Its just i routinely post urls, and could use a URL tag feature.

for 7 or 8 links in one post chief ?... and almost every post of mine in the antivirus forum will link to something or the other. It wuld be just easier to just paste all the links, as i compose the thread and then at the end go back highlighting text and clicking the URL tag button if there was one.
If its a question of laziness then why have a quotes button in the first place ? too lazy to type ?
I am managing at the moment, but this is a suggestion thread after all...

So maybe an auto-parse checkbox would be best?

I think it would be nice to have something similar to the My Links box that you can create in your User CP, but instead of taking me to that link, I could define text to insert into the Quick Reply (or Advanced). This way, we could define the text needed to link to certain URLs or commonly linked threads and insert them by simply selecting them from a list we can define.
