I think the way the forum abbreviates links makes it hard to use them. For example see how the links I posted on this thread are all the same and one cannot tell where the link goes or what the topic is because the middle of the link has been removed to abbreviate?

I would suggest not abbreviating or putting better logic in for msdn links otherwise the links all say the same thing and the part that give a clue on the topic is missing. I have noticed OP just skip over the links and don't even look at them thinking they are wrong topic etc.
