1. Thanks Paul for the response. Nice to finally meet the Boss.
2. Dumb Aussie boy like me might need more instructions.
I can insert a quote....I can insert a link....I was just wondering how to make a long link shorter?
Thanks.

Hey BigBuck, if you see something you are unsure how it's done, click on "Quote" for the post you would like to do what they are doing, and you will see how the person has done the feature that you want to do... Clear as mud

Cheers

Worst thing about that one from Paranoid is, it won't fit into Favorites, so you have to memorize it and enter it by hand into the address bar.
