Eric and group,

There is a way to post a long link in Yahoo groups so that it remains  
clickable and no copying and pasting is required.

Simply enclose the link in angle brackets (also know as "greater-than"  
and less-than" symbols) like so:

<your long link goes in between these angle brackets - note that you  
should not put spaces at the beginning or end of the link>

As an example, here's a long link for the Powercore forums:

<http://www.powercore.noheaven.com/index.php? 
sid=73923e5a57f18a3756ec2458ff00320d>

Kind regards.
