   Hi,

   i would like to add some links of teamspeak:// and steam:// - but this links all always changed to http://teamspeak// and http://steam//

   is this a bug, feature or an option i can change?

   how to reproduce:

   - wordpress/wp-admin/link-manager.php
   - add some steam:// or teamspeak:// link
   - view the wordpress/ output

   using WordPress 2.0.6

   cybot: This is a known issue. The Link Manager doesn't much care for links in unknown protocols.

   You could always simply hard-code these into the sidebar instead of using the Link Manager.

   I'm going to fix the bloody link manager one of these days. It would be nice if it didn't stupidly try to second guess the user's input there.

   Yes, would be nice sometimes! So far, Otto, you seem to be the only one who sees the problem or cares....

   thanks for the reply - so i will just comment out this url rewriting in the code

   i don't think that it is necessary to rewrite links added by an admin or editor ...

   ok, i have fixed this in my local code by just commenting out some line of codes:

   in wp-includes/functions-formatting.php

   lines #1056-1059

   in wp-admin/admin-functions.php

   line #505

   also, this lines do not use the same filter for protocols - possible there should be used a configurable option where you can insert allowed protocols or all

   at least they are missing some important protocols: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme
