A question

what sense does it make not to be able to put URL inside the forum comments. I do not understand, how can it be reported, or is it not reported directly?

Thanks for the comment

If you drop the http:// and use only www.pindiy.com you can still post url.

It stops spammers, that is one reason that comes up, but there are many other reasons, and some relate to privacy. Websites can see where you came from when you click a link, so they dont see visits coming from this forum, just another example.
