You can also have the link appear as just text, rather than the URL. In Luxo's example, type something other than the URL for the second instance of the URL. This text will be displayed. For instance:
I always like posting the URL as the link text in forums like this so that people can see exactly where they will be going before they click. If it needs a description as well i'll add that as additional text.
What I hope SoFo does if they get the $$$ from Sony is upgrade this rather primative forum software that is so limiting and SLOW. Its almost from the dark ages.
