	Hello, I'm using the topauthors Block on my homepage and I'd like to remove <a href> links from the bio text... I know it can be done using "preg_replace", but I don't know how to implement it. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks, Yaniv

	Use this in the php section of block: PHP: $whatever_var_for_author_bio_is = str_replace('</a>', '', $whatever_var_for_author_bio_is); $whatever_var_for_author_bio_is = preg_replace('/(<a[\s]+[^>]+)>/i', '', $whatever_var_for_author_bio_is); Or this will add rel="nofollow" to the link instead: PHP: $whatever_var_for_author_bio_is = preg_replace('/(<a[\s]+[^>]+)>/i', '\\1 rel="nofollow">', $whatever_var_for_author_bio_is);

So the PHP part of the topauthors block should be something like that?

PHP:

$this->authors = $this->getUsers('', 'user_article_count DESC', 5);
$this->authors->bio = str_replace('</a>', '', $this->authors->bio); 
$this->authors->bio = preg_replace('/(<a[\s]+[^>]+)>/i', '', $this->authors->bio);

It's not working...
