It happened to me on both Firefox 2 and Safari 3 Beta.
The Dude, HTML is not disabled on this site. How do you think this site is displayed, then. Flash? LOL.
What happens is the BBCode parser automatically turns '<' and '>' into their HTML character equivalents,
But back on topic, the bug seems to be fixed, thank you Dani!

Maybe Opera still executes the script locally instead of from the site?? (Im telling you 'HTML' is disabled on this site!!)
<a href="http://www.daniweb.com/forums">See what i mean?</a>
Now is that formatted correctly for you?? (It shouldnt be if it is)
What happens is the BBCode parser automatically turns '<' and '>' into their HTML character equivalents,
< and > while turning [url][/url] into actual HTML code. I suspect a slightly different parser is used for the thread preview window, because it's only plaintext. When that parser was written, the '<' and '>' parsing was probably omitted, creating the bug that Matt so nicely pointed out.But back on topic, the bug seems to be fixed, thank you Dani!

Well it doesnt happen when i enable everything and try it......
Well... you're the only person that has said you didn't get any popup. So the only thing I can assume is that you were using a crappy web browser.

<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
It should look something like the following:
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a><br /> <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a><br />
HTML isn't disabled, it's just that the BBCode parser escapes it, as you can see (> < ")
Duh. Dani fixed the bug. jbennet so far is the only one that has reported getting the popup window after Dani said she fixed it.
