Some of you may wonder why the screen grows wide and cumbersome in some posts. This is usually because a poster has entered an especially long URL. There is a workaround for this and it’s a lot easier to do than you might think so just in case you didn’t know, try this next time you enter a URL.
Example:
Checkout this post for help with entering urls:
/html/modules.php?op=modload&….etc.
Awful isn’t it!
Try this instead. Enter your text as normal…
[code:1]Checkout this post for help with entering urls[/code:1]
then highlight the words ‘this post’ and click on the URL tab above.
[code:1]Checkout [url]this post[/url] for help with entering urls[/code:1]
now, move your cursor between the l of the first url and the ] and insert an = sign followed by the actual url. It should then look something like this:
[code:1]Checkout [url=http://www.sadgeezer.com/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3669&sid=23 5f7e7788425ac3a1c780fd7a82fecf]this post[/url] for help with entering urls:
[/code:1]
Which results in:
Checkout this post for help with entering urls:
much nicer ๐
