I have a child-friendly forum and we no longer want to allow any users to link to other websites. Is there an admin setting that removes linking to other sites altogether in any post?

Sure – you could set the `min trust to post links` setting to TL4

Will that remove existing links though?

Ah, no – good point. I misunderstood the question.

Great thanks @HAWK! I will definitely look into that setting. (I didn’t see it because we are in an outdated version and will have to upgrade.)

As for the existing links, I guess we will have to edit the existing posts.
