Why do my links not work?

What am I doing wrong here this is annoying. I have linked to stuff many times, but I cannot make mobile.de work...

Am I a total moron or what? It's a link to a 420SEL pickup very amusing...

For some reason, your link is not working the same way it is typed. I've seen this before when the link is really long. You could try just listing the address without the brackets, and just have users cut and paste it into a browser. You can use a "quote" bracket to make sure that it doesn't come over as a link:

or you can just link the pictures using the "IMG" button. You can do this by right clicking on the picture, selecting properties, and then copying the address and pasting it into the "IMG" window:

hey thanks revstriker!

I sat in front of my computer mistified for several minutes trying different ways of posting the link. I tried the cut and paste way and from the post it would not work, however a direct cut and paste from mobile.de to a new window worked. Rather odd, thanks for the IMG suggestion, I'll do that!
