Before we switched to the new format, there was a way when posting a long URL to shorten it with a descriptive word. Can that still be done? :P

Yes,
Highlight the word in your thread you wish to link to. Click on the icon that looks like the world with a arrow. Then add an = and the address between the L and the ] in the first set of brackets.
[ u r l = www.address.com ]example word[ / u r l ]

Any way to add a little cheat sheet in the reply box like we had before for old dummies like me? :(

The new software now automatically shortens long url's.
The old code that Jeff shows above still works but since most people didn't use the feature, or tried copying and pasting the instructions into a post, we felt it would be better if we no longer hard coded into this section.
