as to your example links, they are of some interest to anyone who wonders about browser differences, as do I. Depending on how you have your window sized, IE7 may indeed interpret a longer link as multiline, and in this case breaks after the '?'. firefox, on the other hand, leaves everything on a single line, but utilizes a scrollbar to do so. If you don't currently see this in action, just grab the right edge of your browser window with your mouse and drag it to the left, thereby shrinking the window.

p.s. to Faldo: I believe shortening a wordsmith link still works; the first number is the key..
