Not a bug, which is kinda what I expected. Check out MattK’s first post in this thread, and zweisamkeit’s quote of it. Link works in the first one, but not the second, so I’m guessing zweisamkeit just used C&P instead of the quote button.
In the thread I linked to in my third post, the link in MattK’s post works. The link in zweisamkeit’s quote doesn’t work and it sends to you the board-shortened url, with the ellipsis in the middle. I wondered if long url’s would get quoted incorrectly; hence, this thread.
Just tinkering as well…
Continuing the tinkering process…

Funny, I did a c&p and it worked fine. The URL display has been trunctated, but the full address is associated with the hyperlink.
You’re theory sounds valid, ultrafilter, but I couldn’t replicate zweisamkeit’s results.
Nevermind. I now see that I forgot the crutial last step of copying the truncated URL display into another reply box. Doing so would have lead to the same URL as zweisamkeit.

This is why I am not a professional scientist. :smack: You’d think I’ve learned my lesson by now considering my cat still has no hair on the left side of her body.
