    Do you want to completely disable the feature (it can be done in vbseocp) or just change the default checkbox state?

    Hmm, no, it's not working. I thought that was the correct setting to change, but I was wrong it seems. The option in the "Go Advanced" is gone, but when I post a URL, it still shows the page title instead of the actual URL.

    I'd like to just disable this feature completely, or at least change the state of the check box - which ever is easier.

    ...sorry, it actually IS working, but only when the URL points to an external website - so it indeed works as designed. However, is there a way to desable the feature also for links pointing to my own pages?
