URL's no longer appending?

[MJ5150]

For a while, I could paste a URL into a reply to a thread, and the forum software would append the URL and show the title of the article I posted from thus turning the URL into a titled hyperlink to the article. This isn't happening with the last few from ESPN.com that I linked to. Is that an issue here of with ESPN.com? I tried a few other URL's, same behavior. Tried on Internet Explorer and SRWare Iron browsers.

Here is an example of it working: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f34/ncaa-football-offseason-2012-a-846311/#post12147972

I am still seeing this issue when I post from the Android app and from the website using IE9 and SRWare Iron.

Still happening to me. Anyone else getting this?

Hi Mike,

Sorry, I thought I had replied earlier. The link title replacement feature you noticed earlier this year has been disabled. It's purpose was to make TB more search-engine-friendly (page titles have more keywords in them than plain url's), but it ended up causing readability problems when website titles went on for too long or had nonsensical names.

Got it, and that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation Paul.
