Web Wiz Forum version 10.17 recognizes the following way of writing an URL in (U)BBcode:

[URL=http://www.google.com/][/URL]


But it does not support the other common way of writing an URL (with "):

[URL="http://www.google.com/"][/URL]


I would suggest updating the RegExp in functions_format_post.asp from:

\[URL=\s*([^\]]+)\s*\]\s*([^\]]+)\s*\[\/URL\]

To:

\[URL=\s*"?([^\]]+)"?\s*\]\s*([^\]]+)\s*\[\/URL\]

In order to support both ways of writing URLs.

I just played around with the RegExp a bit more, and came up with a better solution:

        .Pattern = "\[URL=\s*\s*""?\s*([^\]]+)\s*""?\s*\s*\]\s*([^\]]+)\s*\[\/URL\]"

This pattern also handles the (in my experience) rather common issue with users copying an URL and accidentally include one or more whitespace characters before or after the URL.
