Many posts on the forum refer to a certain problem. For example: "I'm getting stuck on problem 94..."
Since anyone who's responding to such a problem will probably want to go to that problem, I think that links should be automatically created in these situations.
Specifically, whenever the forum software sees the text "problem ###," it should replace it with [ url=http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems&id=###]problem ###[ /url].

Re: Problem ###
I don't think that adding an automatic link whenever the text "problem ###" appears would be the right thing. But perhaps a new custom tag, to be used like "I'm stuck on [ prob ]n[ /prob ], ..." which creates an automatic link would be worthwhile?

Re: Problem ###
An excellent idea, Daniel. I've added the tag: [ link ]{problem_id}[ /link ].
For example, [ link ]1[ /link ] produces Problem 1 (View Problem)
For example, [ link ]1[ /link ] produces Problem 1 (View Problem)
