This is actually just a pet peeve, but I'm sure I'm not alone.
When people post really long links to URL's, they can't wrap around like regular text does. When these long links are posted, it causes the right
margin of the page to extend out as far as the link, sometimes half a page again as wide as the resolution.
When you post a link to a URL, take advantage of the little JavaScript App indicated by the button with the world in it above the text window. There
it offers the option to add text to describe what the link leads to, rather than posting the URL itself.
This would do nothing more than make the threads easier to read, and more user-friendly, not to mention make me very happy. I hope others would agree.
Just for the sake of clarity, I will offer this example:
www.nytimes.com...
There, now... doesn't that just piss you off?
