In order to make sure there is not link baiting I think MA is better off NOT allowing hyperlinking in this way. Currently if a word is clickable that means it goes to a safe Mahalo page and any other link has to be fully visible so we know where it is truly going to go before we click on it.
I really believe this is a security reason for the users safety beyond anything else!

Nope, tried a few different things and nothing worked.
I can see the above point, as I get mad when people shorten their links so I can't tell what I'm clicking on. Countless times people have sent me graphic jokes and stuff and I have opened it with my kids in the same room.

Is there a way to create hyperlinks in Answers?
I don't mean internal links to other Mahalo pages. I'm referring to, for example, having the word "GameSpot" that will link to http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/starwars2007/hints.html?tag=tabs;cheats when clicked.

For the sake for me being curious, I'm going to use this post as a "sandbox" and goof off trying.Nope, tried a few different things and nothing worked.

On another note (not to be argumentative), is that really such a huge problem though? I spend literally 12+ hours a day online, clicking left and right. It's never been a problem. Just wondering how prevalent baiting really is.
Anyways, I was wondering because, as far as formatting, readability and/or aesthetics go, a huge link can become pretty ugly/unwieldy. I guess it's just a personal thing, but I can't be the only one!
