Couldn't find any reference post on this .. from - Under Link Settings in Admin-

"use http:// as the default for link URL" yes/no

Wondering what the advantages/disadvantages of having it as default might be ?

Thanks to all in advance - Have not gone "live" yet on this end!

If you're using the URL field to index something that rarely starts with http:// , you want it off... otherwise, you save visitors typing time by having it on.
