    How do you get wordpress to generate a link automatically to a URL anytime someone submits a form on your site that includes http://

    Just like it does on here when you type: http://www.whateverbusiness.com

    It automatically becomes an active link upon submission.

    Thanks

    Just the regex 
    ((mailto\:|(news|(ht|f)tp(s?))\://){1}\S+)
    Code (markup):
    with preg_replace :) That should work ;)

    No help with this yet? Or is it harder than it seems like it should be?

    I've tested it and it works fine with Wordpress 2.6.5.

    Maybe it conflicts with other plugins, I don't know :(
