Can links not be included in charactor counts? Some of us are too lazy and just dont want to click to read the link or there are some of us who only have access to this site and those links dont work for us. We would really appreciate a summary with the threads...
Unfortunately, we can't do that because the software doesn't distinguish URLs any different that it does text when counting characters. I agree with you though that if you are going to post a link to an article, at least include a few sentences that summarizes the article. That can be a easy as cutting and pasting the first 1-2 sentences from the article itself.
That always irks me when just a link is posted to thread .It doesnt take much effort to quote a sentence or two. Some folks cant open links at work and others want to find out if the topic is worth looking into before opening the link .
