Replacement Variable help

[grey_goose]

I'm trying to create text links, and tried using the Replacement Variable feature.

However, when i change "text" to "<a href link>text</a>" it also changes the reulting URL after a Search.

What am I doing wrong?

What do you mean it "changes the reulting URL after a Search"? Can you give an example of what is happening and what you want to happen?

Replacement varibles are _very_ powerful and will modify _everything_.

ok, figured it out. for some reason, quotes around the link in the A tag mess things up.

I noticed... they change everything, including custom navbar links *lol*. Is there a better way to do custom text links within messages?

I've posted the plugin code a few times over on vb.org to do this via a str_replace in a plugin. You can do a search over there to find it if you don't mind writing a plugin for it.
