Okay it came to my attention that a number of people here don’t know how to dress links and stuff like that.
Why dress a link?
Very long links tends to annoy people and mess up the formatting so dressing the links is just a nice thing to do.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... 62-9505456
This is an annoyingly long link!
Same Link but dressed.
The trick here is this:
First type "[url="
Then the adress "http:\\
www.stardestroyer.net]"
Dont forget the finishing "]" in the address
Then the text you vant
And complete it with "[/url]"
If there is a need I am more than villing to write a faq for bbr commands and stuff. Please PM or reply if you feel there is a need for that.

I don't find it annoying in the slightest, personally.

As I always check the URL before clicking, the non-dressed one is equally cool with me.
EDIT: But since it bothers people, I have been making an effort to "dress" them.

It's when the damn thing is so long that it screws with the format of the board that pisses some of us off.

I don't happen to like having to SCROLL ACROSS THE DAMN WINDOW to finish reading someone's post.

I'm glad someone finally SHOWED US WHAT THE FUCK TO DO. Instead of screaming dress your links, dress your links. Sorry folks, I understand completely what your saying, because I don't like having to scroll the board either. However, not everyone (like ME!!!) knows all this high tech, fancy schmancy computer shit. Thanks Faram. Glad someone is out there looking out for us Rednecks!!!

LOL sorry folks I thought people knew what it meant so I was getting annoyed when I posted announcements about it and no one did it.

Added it to the Board FAQ as well. At least the three people that read it'll know what to do.
