i tried sending someone a link in the fashion of an HREF hyperlink, and it kept substituting the LW forums URL infront of the typed site address. Why does it do this?

ex. What I typed(no extra space at the front or back):
< a href="example.com">Click here!

Result:
< a href="www.golivewire.come/forums/example.com">Click here!

Is this a function to fix a security issue I'm not aware of, or what?

I'm not sure, but you're better just using BBCode.

type [ url=blablabla]click here![ /url]

(with no spaces in the brackets)

besides the fact that html doesn't work here, when you post a clickable link of any kind you MUST use http(colon)(slash)(slash) or else it defaults to the livewire domain you're using
