Must be a server issue on your side.  If i understand you correctly here. 


I went to main and under newsfeed typed in my site  www.site.com and pressed send and it populated the field and worked fine. 


Hope i understood you..

Justin you need to add www at least otherwise this is considered as a simple text

i tell you again, when user type any url they must include http or www when user type url without http or www oxwall understand it as a simple text so where can i change to insert url without both http and www?

I understand that justin, my question is what is wrong with having to type www dot  is that so hard for them to do sir.  I do not understand the big deal with having to type that. 


Again maybe i am missing something here, are they just lazy and cant type www dot  


That is my question sir,  what is the problem exactly, why do you NEED to have it like facebook is there a reason it has to be just like facebook? 


If it is only convenience and you just prefer it that way then this topic is consider custom coding and needs to be moved to that section.  


Thanks

Dave
