How do I post a link so that it doesn't show the whole address - just a label? Some of these addresses are pretty long.

Its real easy to do :)
Just put a [ and the letters url= in front of your link, then an opposite ] then the text you want to appear, then the letters [/url]
Like this:
1) [url =
2) paste your link
3) ]
4) text you want to see, like HERE for instance
5) [/url]
Only put it all together, with no spaces. If you do it right it looks like this:
Visit the main Multitool.org site HERE (http://www.multitool.org/)

Roadie posted a tutorial a while back: Posting Links (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,2487.0.html).
It should look like this: [XXX=http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,2487.0.html]Posting Links[/XXX] except you need to replace the XXX with url.

you can also use sites like this; http://tinyurl.com/create.php
which makes them smaller but Bobs way is "prettier!" :pok:

Ahhh, that's a lot better way of explaining it than I did. :)
