Looks like although there are no blank spaces in the first long link, the whole URL is just too long for UBB to process it. It would handle just a simple url (expediamaps.com) fine. When I used the Dealer search to locate a dealer and view a map. I copied the map URL to my clipboard and pasted it in between the (URL) etc. No luck.
But back at expedia, if I chose the LINK choice below the map. I get a somewhat different URL and I can copy and paste that one in here and have it work OK.

If you use UBB coding, it seems to cut off after the -9 each time on the last line (around 127 characters after the http://) It appears to be adding a gap at that point (trying to break up the long line at a certain point?) each time you edit and try again.
If you use the standard HTML coding of: (a href="yoursite.com")name of your site(/a) it seems to work fine though, as shown above....using <...> instead of (...), of course.
And the last thing a Webmaster wants is to send you away from his site - who knows, you might not come back :-). So we want to cause a new window to open, leaving your current browser at the place where you started.
This is accomplished using the TARGET attribute with a value of "_blank" which will cause the requested page to open in a new window.
Elaborating on Rod's example above (which I've modified), the code is: (a href="yoursite.com" target="_blank")name of your site(/a)

Fixed it for you Jeff. There was just a "gap" between the text halfway down. I think on these long ones, when cutting and pasting, you have to take a quick look to see if it created a gap or not somewhere.
