Description

When posting from drupal, URLs that refer to the local site get translated down to local URLs. For example, a post with a link to http://the.local.site/node/23 gets automatically translated down to /node/23. This is fine from the drupal side, but when it gets to LJ, the link gets interpreted as a local link there. Instead of http://the.local.site/node/23, it becomes http://myLJ.livejournal.com/node/23.

This happens even if and absolute URL is entered explicitly.

In order to fix the former problem it'll require a 'smart' filter to fix the URLs. This is beyond what this module can do, though if you look around there ARE some filters to help fix this.

I don't see what you see with the absolute URLs. I tested it, and absolute URLs go through unmolested. It's possible you have something else mucking with your absolute URLs?
