You hip peeps give me the bisnass on that biznatch.


Its not intentional, but it hurts my Hscroll... is there any way to make them wrap around or something? Not a big priority... :(

    I can't think of a way to do it and make it look good in all resolutions, but if people are to post those mega-links, they should use

    Anytime I have a really long link, I use the URL tags as well. If it's a shorter link though, i don't worry about it.
