Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of and are not responsible for any messages posted. As Bill has pointed out, that is the proper way to post a link. It is impossible to enforce these rules on a constant basis with the large number of postings each day. Sometimes we do miss these postings that violate our policy.
In the future, if there are any questions, please direct those issues to the moderators via the email option. If you ask a question within a thread, there is a chance that one of the moderators will not read it, especially if the thread isn't active. Remember, sometimes we can't view every single post per the registration rules. You can also use the PM-private message function to contact a moderator.
Thanks!
