 * I’m using the Comment Plugger plugin.
    It would appear that when a commenter 
   enters their url beginning “www.” then WP does not prefix a “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);
   to that. Invalid links result.

 * I think that’s by design. If you want to give people a hint about it, open the
   file with the comment fields in it (usually `comment.php` and `comment-popup.
   php` – at least in 1.5) and add `value="http://"` to the URI input box.

 * It’s odd because it always used to ……. thats why I mentioned it, wasn’t sure 
   if a filter or something had been moved ?

 * It did used to? Hmm…
 * ryoken, yup, now that you mention it, the `value` would have a little code in
   there to display a cookie value if any exists. might prove a bit of a problem–
   unless you added a little more PHP code before the input box checking for the
   cookie first and assigning it to a variable if it exists, and assigning `http://`
   if it doesn’t, then using that variable in the `value` instead of whatever’s 
   there currently.
 * Bit of a chore though, especially if it used to stick `http://` in front of web
   addresses anyways…

   create an account, I can’t change that)
