Great spot to copy/paste your link into, then copy/paste the SHORTER link on the forum here: www.tinyurl.comEspecially useful if you're linking to eBay listings

Thanks Val. I just posted a link earlier and it took up half the page!

I think the most efficient way is to click on the globe button in the reply menu. That will bring up a box where you can type in text for whatever you want it to say and then paste the link into the next box. When the link shows up in your post, it will just show whatever text you typed, not the actual link. Exhibit A: Google Image Search

That works, but how do I use that for my signature and make it a link? When I tried that it was not a link, so I'm back to the long link.

Don't have the answer to that, since there's no globe to click on in the signature section of creating your profile. I tried googling, but I couldn't find any method of how to do it on your own.

Jeremy had that in a post last week. I'll go find it. Here you go (edited version): If you want to make words into links (instead of just showing the link itself): [ a href=http://stores.ebay.com/stamplandia ] STAMPLANDIA [ /a ]Remove the space between "[ a" at the beginning, and the spaces between "[ a/ ]" at the end. STAMPLANDIA
