Hyperlinks that wrap?

Problem Description:
Is there any way to get hyperlinks to wrap in a post like the text does?

If you don't know what I am talking about, see this test post:

Hyperlinks will wrap just as well as text does.  To shorten a link, you can type the following:

[ url = http://www.google.com/intl/xx-piglatin/]google.com/...piglatin/[ /url ]

Or similar.

But they will only wrap at certain characters, which is why your test post did that...

I'd suggest that a more descriptive, shortened form of the hypertext such as 1996 Saturn SC2 $3,300 would actually be more helpful to the reader, however.

Or Saturns that match your criteria, given that the search is not necessarily specific to that car!

The problem is really that the members do not know how to do this.

I don't remember it being a problem with YaBB 1G and was kind of hoping that there would be a setting or mod that could fix it.

In that case, I'd direct them politely but firmly towards yourforum/YaBBHelp/posting.html#reply. Not a guaranteed solution, I know, but we all have problems with members who don't read the help files!

In that case, is there a simple way that I can change the code for the URL button to use the "URL=" style? I think that would help to alleviate that since just pasting a URL withouth the YaBBC code makes it a hyperlink.
