27. Is there a way to abbreviate the links such as the one from Anon221? These excessively long web addresses make reading comments on my iPhone difficult to read and inconvenient to constantly sideways - scroll whether I wish to click the link or not.

    Comment by Kippax Blue Monday, May 16, 16 @ 3:03 pm

28. If anyone can give me the tools to make a hyperlink, I’ll do that in the future. Right now I have no way of knowing how long some of these turn out to be once I paste them into the comment box. I apologize for messing up the view.

    Comment by Anon221 Monday, May 16, 16 @ 3:07 pm

29. To be fair, 221, not trying to pick on your post–it’s every time there is a link like that… It just the first time I ask about a remedy. Cheers.
