Longer is in style again, and I have tried to post some long URLs from time to time.

A recent TurboMax URL that I tried to post:
<http://www2.promax.com/Products/action.lasso?-db=products.fp3&-lay=Data%20Entry&-format=turbomax.lasso&-op=eq&Category=TurboMax&-skip=0&-max=10&-sortField=Category&-sortOrder=a scend&-sortField=Manf&-sortOrder=ascend&-sortField=Manf.%20PN&-sortOrder=ascend&-lop=or&-find>

Only about 60% of it gets recognized if simply print it. And that sends people to a different page. Copy & paste the above URL, and compare with the clipped example below:
http://www2.promax.com/Products/acti...ortOrder=ascen d&-sortField=Manf&-sortOrder=ascend&-sortField=Manf.%20PN&-sortOrder=ascend&-lop=or&-find

If I UBB code it as a link, it is not recognized at all.

Is it possible to allow longer URLs that will not get cut sho

BTW: to copy & paste the full URL, you may need to first paste into a word processor and fix it. In my browser, the word-wrap in the first URL causes spaces and a carriage return to be copied into the middle of the URL. This results in a broken URL, and sends you to the same page as the clipped URL version.

Or you could click on the button and copy directly from my post.

I would still like to know if
