Thanks for that Dirk.  I'll pass your comment regarding  
$_CONF['profileloginrequired'] and $_CONF['emailuserloginrequired'] onto 
PJ and Mathfox to see if that fixes what she is concerned about 
(basically scripted crawlers).  Anything we dont have to do is a bonus :-)

WRT "linkification" problems in the current RC, I'd need to get up to 
speed on the source code, but I too would be worried about CPU impact if 
it is parsed on the fly. Was there a design reason why this parsing was 
not done at posting time (and the HTML snippet stored in the DB) or is 
it a legacy limitation?  I understand it would increase the average 
stored post size, but this may not be such a loss overall.

Cheers,
Andrew.
