I consider this a very low priority problem.

On my list "A Sample Image List" [http://www.imdb.com/list/yKlvYzazM9Q/... ] the following BBCode is rendering properly on Firefox:
This is an example for Get Satisfaction [link]https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/how_do_i_change_the_photo_of_the_actor_actress_in_a_list_of_mine[/link]

Link look OK on this page, but not on profile page.
Short link: [link]http://www.imdb.com[/link]



However, I noticed about a week ago that the code is not rendered on my profile page [http://www.imdb.com/user/ur0127678/ ]. It was rendered properly prior to that time.

I noticed that with mine over the last few days. I just went to check and it is working OK now.

Although looking at it, you might have the code wrong:

Which works differently from:

This had been working on the profile page and works fine on the list page. I will just chalk this up to some got broke on IMDb and it will eventually get fixed.

By the way, [url][/url] works fine on the message boards, but does not work on lists.
