Let’s get rid of the obnoxious long links!

[Tony (admin)]

One way to clean up the user experience here is to fully use the link dialog here to post clean links.  Many of the links posted here are obnoxiously long and can sometimes cause display problems because there are so many characters the link breaks the layout, or goes out of the content area etc.   Plus the long links are just damn hard to read.  Here’s an example:

Please use the link dialog:

You enter the link in the first field, then the LINK TEXT in the 2nd field. Make the link text a description of what the link is:

By doing the above, there is a short clickable link text which looks nice and clean!

In the iOS/Android app, the link dialog is below the text area on the left side, and looks like a chain link.

Thanks, Tony!

Would be nice if the said link would open in a new window. Clicked on the Test Link from UteBacker and it opened in the window I had up for Ute Hub. A new window would be better in my opinion.

Not sure if you already fixed that Tony, but just clicked on it again and bam – new window. 🙂

ALL external links are supposed to open in a new window.  Not sure what happened your first time.
