   Provided you have selected the automatic parsing for links, typing an URL freehand works fine:
   
   

   http://slashdot.org

   
   However, when you surround it with parentheses, it doesn't work this well:
   
   

   (http://slashdot.org)

   
   As you can see from the above, the parsing of this URL has swallowed the closing parenthesis, which it should not have.

   I know it's not optimal, but you could always place a space before the closing parenthesis. Maybe we need to look into the code to see if it's easy to parse that correctly.

   Most* boards using bb code that I know do the same, and a few vB ones. I've simply learned to add the space.
