Yes, they should. However, some posts in our phpBB forum go without a scheme - I guess that some older phpBB version accepted those. Discourse will normally treat these correctly (namely by not linkifying them) - unless the content starts with the lowercase “a” as mentioned here. The other issue are links with the `abp://` scheme which are relatively common in our forum - these cause Discourse to break as well.
