QUESTION RE: LINKS

When I go to make a link, the board gives me the option to input text for what I want to appear as the link title, but then when my finished post appears, all it says is "link", which can be very confusing in posts where more than one link might appear. Why is it that they all get reduced simply to "link"?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

It's been doing that for a few days now.

Even the old threads have changed, once where a link would say: Click here to See Bush and Cheny Get it on!...Now it just says Link.

Andem changed it recently, because some links were being posted that were so long they were causing sidescroll. Your point about this new system leading to confusion is a good one, though. I have to say I preferred being able to rename a link.

I'll bring it up again. Cheers.

It's not that bad really, I mean all you have to do is just type a header for the link instead so it would look like this:

Politicians gone Wild: Link

The only thing I'm going to miss is setting it up so an image would show up to click on instead of words.
