When you enter a URL without the http:// it'll append a / to the www. See the demo

Well it is still truncating the [img] bit of [url] sections.

Also the section that it says not to do in 6.7 because its allready done, does not match 6.7.1's code - both the before (obvious) and after sections are diferent from 6.7.1.

Thanks
