The really weird think about the BBS is: If I just type in http://gdal.velocet.ca it turns that into a (correct) link: http://gdal.velocet.ca

But if I type <a href="http://gdal.velocet.ca">gdal</a>, it doesn't. It also accepts [url]http://gdal.velocet.ca[/url] though: http://gdal.velocet.ca

Edit: I just noticed that the BBS doesn't recognize (probably willingly) URLs that are within quotation marks.
