[Forum] Does Burning Board alter link targets in posts ?

Let's say I wanna post a link towards the wiki : wiki link

The URL of the link is automatically converted from wiki.zmlingteam.org to forum.zmlingteam.org, in other words, it's useless...

That's ugly! and yes, it makes the link useless.
I'll start the investigation and see if we can figure out how to fix that.

Testing below to see if it happens outside of html tags
http://wiki.domain-com/w/Main_Page
And with links external to our domain

There doesn't seem to be a similar issue posted in their forums, so I posted a new thread for this. The evidence points to some intentional "redirect" setting that I've been unable to locate, so far. I'll post back when I know more.
