    We've taken all your feedback on board and you will now see the original URL in your status bar when you hover over a link. The link will still take you through our security check on the way out but it should be all but invisible to you.

    We've also taken a look at the way we parse URLs and it should be much more compliant with the relevant RFCs. If you spot a link that doesn't resolve properly please let us know about it in the Site Development forum.

    An excellent compromise in my view. Good work.
