url code adding unwanted text

(Yay, my first ever thread!)
I tried to add a link to a comment in the main page. It's worked fine previously.

I tried to link to www.youtube.com/watch?v=SutThIFi24w using the bulletin-board codes [ url] and [ /url]. It opened a new tab, as desired, but the page was a 404 error. Which is not surprising, as the url it actually posted read www.fstdt.com/www.youtube.com/watch?v=SutThIFi24w

You need to begin the URL with http:// for the link to work. It's the way browsers interpret URLs, nothing to do with FSTDT.
