Wildfiction please don't take my last post, or any in this thread, as anything other tham me trying to clear things up.

Yes, this is a problem here on this site too as when i viewed HTML view when editing my post I noticed it didn't have a full URL and only showed from the /Community/ forward. Again, this is a setting in the provider and I have notified Shaun that this needs switched over. This is probably the case on your site as well. I am not familiar w/ FTB, but I know the telerik editor has the option of turning this on/off in the provider code itself. Please see my previous post as an example of what I seen when in HTML edit view (<p><a href="/Community/...)

Remember, this only affects URL's when you are sending and retrieving from the database. The way this is rendered, it renders the entire link here and that is why you can click the links on the actual site. (ie. links are prefixed w/ the http://dotnetnuke.com/ for example) So when the value is retrieved from the forum for sending email notificatoin all it grabs is the /Community/... forward and it is not aware that it needs to attach the http://portalalaisHERE to the beginning.

This is something I can parse for and append in a future version so in some sense you could consider this a bug. The truth is that this is a change in the provider which caused unexpected behavoir and that is why I don't call it a bug. I definately will consider this for a future release but I hate adding more processing on the server side when it is only needed for a small amount of situations.
