    Is there some kind of limit to the number of characters that can be in a link? I was posting in another area and just wanted to give the actual link as the text, but the code didn't highlight all of the text. Here's an example

    Heresabunchoftexttobelinkedtooff-siteyadayadayadablahblahblah12345

    The ah12345 should be all part of the other text, with no space. The link I did earlier actually made the last part not part of the link, but this seems to be making it all part of the link. So is there a limit or what?

    There is a function on the boards that prevents side-scrolling by forcing a space after a certain number of characters. So longer links usually exceed this limit, and thus get a space between them.

    Thats why tinyurl and other link redirection sites are good for more then just disguising log off links ;)
