OK, that's not the right terminology, but hear me out. Previously, whenever I inserted a lenghtly link into a post, when I click the submit post button, it makes the link much shorter so it doesn't stretch the page. However, when I just did the same thing, the link stayed really long and stretches the page out.

I could have fixed it myself by just typing text and putting the URL behind it, but since this appears to not be functioning properly, I wanted to leave it so I can report it.
 
i had a thought once .... good times
 
It only shortens URLs over a certain length (number of characters).
 
@madmatt - I am sure there are a certain number of characters, but I have never seen one stay that long before if you view the post I referenced in my OP.

@mastershakes - I agree I could do it that way, and I mentioned I could fix it in my OP, but I wanted to point out that something I have noticed in the past, doesn't appear to be working that way anymore...
 
I have a screen somewhere at home that has the same issue, I'll find it and post it if I can.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
