I did use the link tags...it is a link. I also post the link as the clickable text of the link incase for any reason the link doesnt work for someone they can copy the text and paste it in their browser. I have always done that in any of my posts here (save maybe one or two)

but since the link is clickable I really fail to see what the problem is. there are quite a few people that post url's as plain text and you havent complained about any of those, yet you are complaining about a long string of text that all you have to do is click? Im confused as to what exactly the problem is.
