    Don’t post links like this:

    http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom

    Post links like this:

    <a href = "http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom"> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom</a>

    It takes an extra 4 seconds but it doesn’t block other people’s posts.

    (Go Here to test it out)

    Only if you want to be considerate to other people.

    I just want to make sure that I understand – are we supposed to copy the link two times – once within the quote marks and then again outside of the quote marks?

    Did it! It actually worked on the first try! Thanks, Mod 25 🙂

    Actually I have the same question. I only did it once. I thought that maybe the second URL was just establishing what not to do.

    I did it twice. So I guess it works if you do it once, LB? Good to know.

    Mods, have one of you been manually adding an icon to thread titles?

    Joseph, I managed to figure it out, so it can’t be too hard.

    I think the new system does it automatically. Pretty cool huh?

    yeah, right. And it knows what Yom HaAtzmaut, etc. are.

    They are really cute in any case! Shkoyach!

    LB – it seems that we do have to do it twice. When I did it once, it didn’t work.

    sorry – I spoke WAY too soon! It’s not working for me 🙁

    “blocking the post below yours”

    What does that mean? Causing the page to render improperly so that the following post is not visible?

    yes.

    It’s simpler to just put <em> tags around the URLs.
