Hope this info helps,

CP: While your response is correct for those with few posts, and I should probably have included that as possible explanation in my previous post, I answered as I did because I perceived lonmol to be asking about the phenomenon I addressed: the recent appearance of LOTS of url listings that, due to substitution of some characters, won't hotlink. These are often provided by those who, like myself, have more than enough posts to list full urls; for the reason I cited, however, we (or occasionally other moderators, intervening with an edit) deliberately make that change.
