Default Automatic http://

Is there any way to have the image and url tags not automatically insert "http://"?

The way I link things in is to cut and paste from a browser, and that carries the "http://" with it, so I am constantly deleting the redundant "http://".

You don't need to use the "http://" button to create urls. Here's the method I use (replace {} with [])

{url=copied hypertext link}Name of Link{/url}

I find it faster to construct my own link than to use the button.

You don't have to delete the redundant "http://" - when the second box comes up, where you are going to paste your URL, the "http://" is highlighted. That should mean that if you just hit control-v to paste your URL, it will replace the hightlit text, saving you the keystrokes.

Incorrect under Netscape at least.
