BBCode seems to work in regular forum posts, but not in some user profile fields. The issue is most likely related to how vBulletin handles profilefields, where some fields appear to be treated as plain text and therefore do not render BBCode or automatically convert URLs into clickable links.
This also affects the "Web" field, where links are not made clickable.
Signatures seem to work better, but some older signatures may have been affected by a previous database conversion. That conversion also caused character encoding issues earlier, including Ä, À and ö being removed from parts of the forum content.
A possible fallback could be to detect plain-text URLs with a regex, for example:
https?://[^\s
