In some instances (I can't figure out what exactly causes this) the forum will not display the link text that it should. An example is the OP here. The google link should read "google the title" but shows up as "Click to View Search Results for t Google: t ." This happens a lot with wikipedia links and links to posts/threads on this forum. Is there any way to fix this?

**EDIT**
Happened here too. The thread link should just read "here"
 
The link is automatically renamed as the title of the webpage.

Unsure if we can change that.
 
It is annoying though. I gave up trying to name links.

I've definitely seen vBulletin forums that don't do this - that's why I thought something was wrong
 
I'll see if we can change it to allowing you to name a link, if you do not - it will name it for you.

This is vbSEO doing this, not stock vBulletin.
 
Code:
http://www.google.com
[ url]http://www.google.com[/url]
[ url=http://www.google.com][B][COLOR="Red"]Best search engine[/COLOR][/B][/url]

Google
Google
Best search engine

This appears to be working correctly.
