I've been having issues with URLs in posts and PMs in the last few days, I don't know if it's because of some settings I would have changed by accident somewhere, but it does the same thing on my home computer and my work computer, and it's not my browser, I've tested on both Firefox and Chrome. [url] tags in new or edited posts don't seem to work, what gets displayed is the full text with tags and all, and it's not clickable. On the other hand, if I just type an URL without any tags, it makes into a clickable link on its own.
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
I went in and fixed the issue, they should all be working correctly now.
2.4Only Official Spoilers. Questions about mechanics or cards from unreleased sets are allowed only if the mechanic or card in question has been officially previewed on wizards.com. If the card is in the MTG Salvation spoiler, the [card] tags should already work, but if they don't, you must use [url] tags to link the card image from the wizards.com card image gallery so that people can look up the card you're asking about. Questions about rumors that have not been officially previewed belong in the Rumored Card Rulings forum in the Rumor Mill. This includes hypothetical or custom card designs, questions about non-existent cards or mechanics belong in the Custom Card Rulings forum in Custom Card Creation.
The bolded part above was being treated as an extra URL tag and breaking everything on the page. You can avoid this by putting noparse tags around those example tags so the code doesn't count them.

I see! Tested the trick by editing my above post, now it's fine. Thank you very much!

As an example, I've edited the rules of the Magic rulings forum : http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-rulings/650661-magic-rulings-rules (see what I'm forced to do), and the links are now all left in that state. Not ideal, to say the least, I'd like to fix that ASAP.
The PMs that get generated when I issue warnings as a mod don't have this problem for some reason, even after editing them. Help?
