I'll give you an example. This URL is one obtained clicking on a Google image search object. It will work in ihub as long as I don't preview and edit the post. [edit] doesn't work. See what I mean? here is a perfect demonstration on the usefulness of tinyurl. <A HREF="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://user.txcyber.c" target="_blank">http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://user.txcyber.c</A> om/~james/AR/derf.gif&imgrefurl=<A HREF="http://user.txcyber.com/~jam" target="_blank">http://user.txcyber.com/~jam</A> es/AR/team_derf.htm&h=210&w=401&sz=5&tbnid=mE04WrwAJesJ:&tbn h=61&tbnw=118&start=14&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dderf%26hl%3Den%26l r%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DG here is the tinyurl redirect. Points at the same page. This will post on most websites and will work here after a preview and edit where the giant link above will get chopped. <A HREF="http://tinyurl.com/658pw" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/658pw</A> original link <A HREF="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://user.txcyber.com/~james/AR/derf.gif&imgrefurl=http.." target="_blank">http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://user.txcyber.com/~james/AR/derf.gif&imgrefurl=http...</A>. I edited the message. Look what happened to the link
