Snort!

BTW, if you put Ebay links in like http://search.ebay.com/200165808415
then you don't get any hassle with crap newsreaders botching the link...


Tell you what'd be handy - if eBay actually provided a shorter link in that
sort of format at some point on the auction as a simple "copy + paste
friendly link" so people could just do the "copy shortcut" on the right
click menu on IE (as that's what most people use) to share stuff.



Feel free to mention it to them. They're well known for responding
immediately and with full attention to comments from their customers.

Oh, wait...


Wouldn't be an issue if people used proper newsreaders ;-)

Wouldn't be an issue if people used proper newsreaders ;-)


Not that old chestnut again.
If a link is provided, it makes sense for it to be in a form that is easily
accepted by most newsreaders, which is why I always use 'SnipURL' for long
addresses. Yours becomes:-
http://snipurl.com/1stsd Much better.
I don't expect those using OE or any other newsreader that wont accept long
addresses to have to fiddle with a link I provide, so I make it a simple one
click operation.
You may not like it, but OE is still a 'proper newsreader' and one in very
common usage. It does everything I want it to do, so why should I change it?
Mike.

Why should I do that to satisfy users of broken newsreaders?

Because it's broken and doesn't comply with several different usenet
standards.
