Counterspy Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Some time ago Mystified pointed out ot me that if you put a punctuation mark immediately following a URL, it would be included as part of the URL making the link unusable. Always follow a URL with a space before any punctuation marks to prevent this problem. Counterspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterspy Posted November 16, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Tell me why one would type all that when all that is needed is one press of the space bar. I suppose a case could be made if it was going to be published as a help page outside this board, but that is the only situation I can think of.

mystified Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 One reason to use it counterspy is when you come across a very long url which widens the page so that you are forced to scroll sideways in order to read an entire post. To me that's frustrating. Using [url=whatever] Topic [/url] solves that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
