Almost every URL posted to the LUG by Mac users is broken in half. Sometimes 
I have the patience to reconstruct it so I can look at your pictures, but 
often I don't. Now is one of those "don't" times.

The Mac mail program has a command that inserts URLs into a message without 
breaking them. (Outlook should be so lucky). It would be awfully good if you 
could use it. The energy that you put into posting pictures is wasted if 
nobody can look at them because your URLs are broken. About 95% of the URLs 
that Alastair has posted in the last month have been broken. Other Mac 
posters have similar numbers.

Under the Edit menu, there is an "Add Hyperlink" command. Please please 
please get in the habit of using it so that the rest of us can see your 
pictures. Or else use tinyurl or make-a-shorter-link.

Outlook users need to put <> characters around their URLs or else use 
tinyurl or make-a-shorter-link.
