I was just wondering: Isn't it possible to attach HTML links within the threads.
So instead of writing: http://www.bbc.co.uk and someone having to copy and paste the link into the browser, you can write: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk">BBC<target="_blank"</a> and someone can just click on the link and go straight to the BBC website.

When I'm arguing on the debates forum, it would be a lot easier to get people to follow through to the source of the information.

I was thinking about that recently as well, but I thought maybe Russ doesn't want/isn't allowed links directly to other sites.

I'd click that.

I do see your point though.
But I reckon that you shouldn't be playing chess during working hours anyways...mhmmm?
