is there a way to make the link visible?
what I mean is, it would be awesome if when you hovered over a link with your cursor if a pop up of a little box would appear that shows the website URL so that members could decide if a link was trustworthy enough to click
FWIW - I love the feature that truncates all links into the word "LINK" - as it takes away from cluttering up a post
but, it is often hard to determine who is trustworthy on links (I usually won't click unless it is someone I am familiar with or that is a long-standing member)

Pretty sure it does that on every browser. Honestly thought people were joking when they say hidden URLs.

If you're using Chrome, when you hover the pointer over the link, the link address will appear at the bottom left of the screen.
Same for Firefox.

you can also preview the thread before opening fwiw.
hover over thread title in the board main page and it will give you the text for the first 20 characters or so.

I have seen that before & that was/is essentially what I was asking for on links in threads
I know I am not the only one who had never noticed the preview in the bottom left (as the complaints about blind links suggest)
