Technical note: TinyURL takes you directly to the site you're linking to, without making you stop at a page full of ads, first.

Technical note #2: Using the Bored's URL tags, you can create a link around any descriptive phrase in a post. That keeps an overlong URL from overrunning a page, while still allowing a reader to hold the cursor over the link and see exactly what page is being linked to.

He's saying you could have just done this. He also explained why that is preferable, in his opinion.

Your avatar looks like Jasper in an eye patch.

Not that he usually wears one.

I appreciate any advice.

Type your message as you normally would. Then highlight whatever word or phrase you wish to turn into a link. Then click the "URL" icon above the text box. That will put tags before and after the text you highlighted. The first tag will say . Add an equals sign, so it says [url= ... this book to better understand the background of the conflict.

For example, if you're tired of all the political crap here and don't even understand why normally decent people are so vicious, nasty, irrational, and uncivil toward each other
I'll have to go look at the book because this sums up my thoughts exactly!

And a couple of Peeps have really surprised me, and not in a good way.
