Well that's an easy one: The links were just malformatted on message creation.

phpbb and ftx style posting.

Any chance of an 'edit' button? ;)

René and I are actively discussing options here - however at this stage it would
be far too early to promise anything. As it stands, Lugnet-posts are not exactly
easy to maintain and even a members-only edit function would bear a couple of
technical risks.

This is a lot easier to handle with BBS systems like phpbb or SMF (where I do
prefer the latter for security reasons and ease of use), but such forum
platforms have the huge disadvantage of lacking any sort of non-web interaction
(yes, they do send out digests to subscribers, but you can't easily
post-by-mail, or use NNTP for that matter).

I'm just as curious as all of you what the future may hold in technical terms.
