May I make a constructive suggestion here please. When url links are inserted directly into your postings the forum software must keep them together as a single string. It isn't possible to word-wrap them as is the case with normal text.
When you insert an ultra long url it will cause the software to create a page that is as wide as necessary to accomodate its length. Then readers will have to use horizontal scroll just to read the postings.
This inconvenience can easily be avoided by using the hypertext capability of the forum software.
Hold your mouse arrow over the little window at the top right of your reply page, the one that says URL, and follow the example. Insert text to explain the URL to show up on the finished page as a clickable link.
You may have to try it a few time to get the hang of it, but it will certainly be a valuable skill to learn!
