All of the news links are broken, example:
http://forums.emulator-zone.com/showthread.php?t=9589
has a link to
http://doc.php/computer/hoxs64.html
which obviously won't go anywhere. All of the updates over the weekend and today are like this. I guess they're being entered in the form [ url=/doc.php/....] and the vbb code can't parse relative links?

We are experimenting with a new tag that parses such links at the forum but it obviously failed... I will correct them now until we can get it to work properly.

I just assume it was because it was calling the links off the front page of the site and didn't put the www infront.

On VideoHelp forums, there was this word replacement thing that you, for instance, post "Project64" it automatically adds a link to the Project64 download page. In other words, it transforms this: Project64 into this: Project64 (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/project64.html).

Well, I think it's a neat idea.
