In summary, the "Disable Autolinker" option in Physics Forums allows users to choose whether links in their posts will be automatically converted into clickable links. This option can be accessed by clicking on the profile picture, selecting "Account Details," and then going to the "Preferences" tab. Disabling the autolinker will not affect the ability to post links, but it gives users more control over their appearance and formatting. The autolinker cannot be selectively enabled or disabled for specific links. Some potential benefits of disabling the autolinker include preventing broken links and having more control over the appearance of links in posts.

We have had some reports of members not happy with the autolink feature associated with the library. We have responded with giving members the ability to disable the autolinker for their posts.

Located at the very bottom. "Check to disable autolinks in your posts"
