Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi all, It was pointed out on another one of my lists that if you put links inside parenthesis, like this: (http://www.nvic.org) that the links stand a much better chance of staying intact after processing through the listserv. I watched it for a week or so before I posted here, to make sure this was actually the case, and it does seem to work much better. So, from now on, we should try to remember to put all our links in parentheses. Even really long links seem to stay intact better that way.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi , Interesting. Can you have a look back at my post on 7.1.09 entitled Measles could survive attempted eradication due to low vaccination rates " ? I put three links in that one, all parenthesised, and my browser still split them. Can you tell me if your browser split them too? Sue x -- Links in our posts - EVERYONE please read!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Sue, There is only one link on that post that I can see, and it isn't in parenthesis... are you thinking of a different post, maybe? The link was scrambled in the " Vaccinations " post, but not in the " VaccineDangers " google post. I've noticed Google doesn't scramble links as badly as .

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Ah! That's the one. Yes, all links in parentheses were good... no broken links on my end. The links do take up more than one line, but when I click on them, they are intact. On Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 9:23 PM, Sue <mum2mishka@...> wrote: > Oops!
