    Weblink in chat

    I got a weird and farfetched idea. Is it possible to interact with website links people post in chat? Like when you click on it or in console instance press X/A on the link and it brings up the web page automatically with your default browser?

    Especially for console players, keeping on linking stuff to FC chat and half of them can't open it lol.

    It's pretty easy to just highlight the text and copy it with ctrl+c.

    Can you do that on PS3/4 without keyboard/mouse?

    I tend to just use an url shortening service for linking links. That tends to make it easy for all to type over.

    ...cynical? RMT on my server is so bad I've shunted all /tell traffic onto it's own chat tab so I don't have to look at it. Makes talking to people I want to talk to in /tell difficult but not impossible whereas if I hadn't shunted it it would be impossible to talk to anyone in any chat mode with all the spam. Hyperlinks in chat would just give RMT another tool to annoy people with and we're well past saturation on that annoyance as is.

    I would like this idea.. I keep my browser closed while playing (for the most part) to free up resources on my poor, poor laptop.
    Everytime someone links me I have to select, minimize, open browser, wait, paste, enter. -_-

    Just clicking on the link and having the client do all that for me? Much better

    There's also the problem with malware links. Being forced to copypaste it to the browser at least makes you take a second look. Not to mention the chance of accidentally clicking one.

    Ok, here's a thought, if you know the message is from RMT, why would you open it? I mean you don't do that with your email do you?
