I don't think this is really a question about whether you're posting a URL link that refers to a sub-domain. http://<sub-domain>.<domain>.<whatever> should work just as well http://<domain>.<whatever>. For example, if I use
Code:
http://docs.kunena.org
the link ( docs.kunena.org ) is properly displayed, is it not?

However, we are aware that sometimes, certain combinations of letters or numbers do work oddly.

Your example: http://<single-letter-sub-domainname>.<domain>.<whatever> evidently shows something strange. By the same token, there's also a problem with using the construct http://<single-letter-domainname>.<whatever>, too: For example h.com

You're right. Typically this behaviour (typing "http://" followed by something) should render the whole link as a clickable link. Typically, this is a function of the web-browser. There are workarounds: For example:
Code:
[url=http://h.kunena.org]http://h.kunena.org[/url]
renders as h.kunena.org

Hi again
Thanks for your fast support
Even with the workaround that you suggest to me,it doesnt work well
it shows 2 urls instead of one

*****
the problem is that im using "this single letter subdomain" as an "url shortener".Now,all links posted with it dont appear as they should
Is there any hack to avoid that?because i didnt have this problem when i was using kunena 1.7.2
Something changed in kunena 2.0.1

Hmm ... puzzling. Oh well, I don't have a reasonable explanation for the fact that typing http://<single-letter-sub-domainname>.<domain>.<whatever> just doesn't work as it should.

Easy workaround: don't reference single-letter sub-domain name, or mark them up like this
Code:
[url=http://h.kunena.org]my wonderful singer-letter sub-domain[/url]

If you say this problem did not occur K 1.7.2 then we trust you. This suggests something has changed in the PHP code in K 2.x.

I'll ask the development team to look into this matter. Issue reported on GitHub: github.com/Kunena/Kunena-2.0/issues/1032
