Why can't we put them in? The link button is there, but if you try to use it (or copypaste a link), you get a message saying URL markup isn't allowed when you try and post it.

It's really irritating. You can post URLs in visitor messages on Serebii Forums, so why can't you here?
 
Probably to prevent advertising.

Also, and this is important, we aren't Serebii forums. Just because they do it doesn't mean we will. Conversely, we don't expect they'll do everything we do.

I know it's not, but does SPPf have problems with advertising? I never said we had to be Serebii forums, just that it'd be nice to have the benefit of URLs in our visitor messages in case we want to link someone to something without having to compose a PM.

As for that, it's no different than allowing URLs on forum posts. I don't see a huge outbreak of advertising there (aside from the occasional spambot).
