The forum has logic that will discourage the posting of full serial numbers - which could lead to false hit re-entries. If an URL resembles a full serial number (letter, 8 digits, letter), 3 digits are replaced by '---'. 1) Either replace a digit with the appropriate ASCII code equivalent or 2) utilize the 'Optional Link URL:' & 'Link Title:' at the bottom of the post window.

Example: ASCII: '%34' = digit: '4'
