    Yahoo! Answers truncates text, links especially, if there aren't any blanks for a certain number of characters. In general, if a link in black text ends with a ... then it's been truncated and is worthless for copying and pasting. If it's in blue and ends in ..., it's still good to click.

    By the way, as a means of preventing spammers from putting hot links (ones that are clickable) into questions and answers, Level 1 members' links are never hot.

    Hope that helps.
