   A couple days ago I made mention of a bug that I found in functions-formatting.php regarding how bare urls are filtered. Ryan B verified it exists this morning.

   I've supplied a working fix to trac, and since it is minor for the devs but a major issue for those of us that like valid sites, I thought I would point out the code change.

   It's available here:

   I actually tried to make a simple plugin that disabled the standard make_clickable and instead used this new function. No luck.

   If anyone wants to try, feel free, but for now, here is the code for anyone comfortable with doing some simple editing.

   Lara,

   If you havent done any editing to functions-formatting.php I would change one file, and upload the changed one to all the sites. Again, thats assuming youve made no changes to any of them.

   I don't recall ever doing that... so maybe (when life slows down a bit) I'll try it, but make a backup first.

   And then I'll come calling when I bork everything up. LOL

   Whooami, a fix came through the SVN list yesterday, for the functions-formatting.php file. Not *sure* if it was your's though, but..

   I usually download the very latest files from the SVN, and upload them to the main blog, which is currently running 2.0.4-alpha.

   I'll redownload a copy of the whole 2.0.4 alpha again, and try it once.. =) And if need be, I'll also use your blog post about it, as reference purposes. ;)

   Yeah, but..after looking at it again, I'm not *sure* if it was your fix though sigh. =/ I just checked it now:

   branches/2.0/wp-includes/functions-formatting.php

   do you reme. the contents of the email? that's mod_security blocking words, its VERYYYYYY picky. I dont block swear words though so you shoulda been safe.

   Yeah hehe, I have a copy of it now on the desttop, I didn't think I had used anything out of the ordinary though, just an email address, like I usually have after my "name". =P

   Haha, nah, I didn't add any *swear* words lol! =) =P

   whoo AT village-idiot DOT org always works though :)

   Awesome! I will send it to that address then. ;)

   // Im off to work, one more 10 hour day and im free for another three!! yay!!!!!

   Hehe..sweet! I always love the weekends lol. *Hopefully*, they'll add your fix then.. =) I haven't quite tried any "fixes" just yet though, but will soon here.
