    I know I can sound annoying but I strongly suggest OP post at least a comment that kinda introduce why/what has been linked to now just becomes a simple "link dump" :)

        You can always do a text post and embed links in that text post. The Markdown support is great here unlike HN. Example

        We most definitely are not as anal as HN about altered headlines nor do we plan to ever be as we have talked about the serious problems with that in the past. E.g. A post on HN with a title that was meant to call attention to a certain questionable change in a ToS that got popular and then the mods just changed it to, "change in ToS for company X"... so suddenly all the old comments made no sense since the context was now stripped from them and people assumed the post was simply about a change of ToS in general and not the controversial part of it specifically.

        So you are more than welcome to provide context for your links in the title here, just try not to use it as a soapbox is all I would recommend.

        There is a discussion going around about allowing to write a comment in the same form of a new post creation so that the link and the OP commentary are not bound together but OP has a chance to write his point before the others.

    Side note: on mobile, long URLs like that get cut off when it runs past the edge of the page, and there is no way to see the whole URL without clicking on it.

      Hmm, it wraps in Firefox, but not in Chrome. I'll check, thanks.

      I think I've forced them to be able to break/wrap now, let me know if it seems better for you. Strange that Firefox seems to wrap them automatically but some other browsers don't.
