# domain.com without http:// or https:// user submission form

 * The user submission link address requires that you type a “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);
   or “[https://&#8221](https://&#8221); for the link. Are you able to not require
   this? I can see just about anyone first typing just “domain.com” and getting 
   the “input value is not a correct URL” error and confusing them and I doubt they
   would know how to fix it.

 * This is a limitation of the javascript validation library that I am using for
   the site. The rule it offers to check if the field contains a URL does not have
   an option to specify that the protocol is optional.
 * That being said, I have just modified the message to:
 * “The input value is not a correct URL. Requires [http://.&#8221](http://.&#8221);
 * Please update to new version that will be out shortly and consider donating to
   support this plugin’s development.

 * Oops. I seem to have messed up something with the upload process. I thought I
   had send it out over the week-end. I will only be able to look into it tomorrow
   night and make sure it goes out. Sorry about that.

 * Thanks Yannick,
    I just realized another (maybe better option) would be to just
   put the value of the field to value=”[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);

 * Or rather in addition to the notice since the user could still manually delete
   that text, you’d still want to notify them about it before submitting.

 * What issues does having the default cause, since it needs to be entered anyways?

 * I can look at adding an option to display it or not.
