XF 2.1 Hyperlink URLs without www

[FedLounge]

Is there an option in Xenforo to allow anything with a .net or .com or whatever TLD to automatically be hyperlinked. Right now, it requires users to add a www. to the beginning of a URL, but more often than not, users just type in things like amazon.com and it doesn't link.

Either the protocol -- http/https -- or the domain -- www -- is required.

Yes, that is how the forum software currently behaves. Is there a way to have it also link to anything with a TLD at the end of it, such as:

amazon.com
google.com
ba.co.uk

In doing a search of my forums, we have 4x the number of results for amazon.com than we have for www.amazon.com

Having these auto-linked would be preferable for us.

It would require custom development.

In the ACP censorship options you can replace words with others. Not sure if this would work for amazon.com to www.amazon.com but it's worth a try. But maybe the dots will be a problem...

It works amazon.com is changed to www.amazon.com but unfortunately is not recognizes as a link even with https://
