I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of the ability to shorten or rename links that one wants to post in the forums. I see so many links of the actual URLs, which can be quite long sometimes. I used to do this too. Norm then posted about a site that allows you to shorten the links---but that is unnecessarily cumbersome.
For those who don't know--when you are posting a new message, you will see the subject line and then a bunch of buttons at the top of the message body that allows for you to bold, italicize, underline, etc. your text. Something that people should use is the URL function. Although copying and pasting does allow a live link to be placed in your post, using teh second option of the URL button will be much cleaner. The format is as follows where the parantheses are my directions:
(name your linke here)
Please use this function to keep your posts clearer and so we know what the links are to. Thank you.
For example, if I wanted to post an IGN link:
Upcoming 360 Game Launches
