Outside Links in Discussion Threads
Apr 17 2008, 4:05 PM EDT | Post edited: Apr 17 2008, 4:05 PM EDT
Is it possible to add a link to a website that is outside of my wiki within a discussion thread? Do you find this valuable?    
Keyword tags: link thread (edit keyword tags)

The only links that will be clickable will be links within the wiki.
For instance:
http://www.wetpaintcentral.com
http://www.google.com
1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Consider this a worthwhile improvement, i.e. external links should be a click away in the threads instead of having to copy & paste the outside link to another browser window.

If we allowed outside links in posts, they'd be used for link farming and spamming. Do you find this valuable?

I won't use discussion threads that prevent linking. Be creative. It will make your tool allot more attractive. Do you find this valuable?
