1345133 2013-06-08 21:24:00 I suppose there is a reason for it, possibly because people who sponsor these ads think recipients will not bother typing in a long url for the block list. Or is it that spammers don't know when to stop? R2x1 (4628)

Basically, that's not an address, rather an actual image!

Basically, that's not an address, rather an actual image!Hmm, that makes sense. I copied and pasted the [url] into my address bar minus just one random character, and the result was a broken image link.

Although Google's URLs for search results etc are now almost just as bad.

Really annoying when you want to quickly copy a link you found from the results page, and you get some huge unweildy piece of crap.
