Angelhart, there are two ways of dealing with those pesky long internet addresses: 1. When you are the "Post a Response" page, paste the URL into the box toward the bottom that says "Optional Image URL" and add a title into the "Optional Link Title" box. 2. If the above was clear as mud, there is also tinyurl.com. Here's an example: http://tinyurl.com/mkwzb6f
