I have been adding content to my new site, and btw loving drupal. But am I missing a setting that will auto parse the urls I put in stories, forums etc? So I don't have to manually type out

Thanks in advance

do you mean the url path for the new story does not come out like you want it? If so, try the pathauto module - it generates url paths based on your selection of attributes, for example category/title, and should do what you want.

I think he means a function to automaticlly convert adresses to hyperlinks: http://example.com --> <a href="http://example.com">http://example.com</a>

Apparently it occurs on this forum as well.

You'll need the urlfilter for that.

The BBcode module will do the trick as well.
