I can't explain the reason of the change, that code has been this way for years on now.
A quick experiment that I never got around to run could be designed with 3 posts testing 2 different urls within the post content; tests hyperlink and url capture from post content.
The first post's post content has one url set up as a hyperlink, one as a plain url.
Second post uses the hyperlink url from the first post content as its post link, if captured in db, should get a notice.
Third post uses the plain url from the first post content as its post link, if captured in db, should get a notice.
I'm too tired tonight, 2am here. Maybe I'll try it tomorrow ... or feel free!
You don't have to do it on Poal. I have a duplicate instance to test it on. I'll check that later.
