You will find these two steps explain 99% of your confusion.

Thanks.

I am not concerned for myself since I know to always test the links and edit then using the source button if necessary but for other posters who are less familiar with that sort of fiddling.

Thanks for the info about using URL tags. That I can manage.

If I use the LINK button does that put URL tags in for me? I would normally just test it but pprune does URL processing itself and it would be impossible to sort out what is really going on.
