Adding links to BP messages results in incorrect href being added

[Venutius]

When composing messages there seems to be a bug where the href for the link is being overwritten by BP.

For example

<a href="www.test.com">Test</a>

is being converted to:

<a href="http://buddysite.com/members/username/messages/view/3/www.test.com">Test</a>

I've tried this on a few sites, they all show the same behavior.

Any chance you can check the database?

e.g. is the link being changed on write to the database, or is it being modified on display (correct in the DB)?

[r-a-y]

<a href="www.test.com">Test</a> is wrong syntax for links.

Have you tried:

<a href="hxxp://www.test.com">Test</a>

<a href="www.test.com"> is close enough to a link that it is intriguing why the current URL is being prefixed to it.
That's what I think we need to look at.
