This is how one makes a small link when the url is overly long:

Code:
[url= http://www.google.com] (description of link here) [/url]

No matter how long the link is, it won't show, only the description. You'll get this:

Thank you! I don't like showing a long URL. It looks too messy.  Thumbs Up

I hope this helps everybody.  With Thor's help I finally got it figured out but I still see a bunch of folks
with long hyperlinks so try this out sometime and see if this helps.
