Is there an option for the TinyMCE editor that will retain long URLs and not truncate or shorten them?

This behavior is shown above in my OP.  :-)

I am wondering about this too.  We have censoring options turned off and couldn't discern where else the URL truncation might be enabled/disabled.  It's not a desired behavior for our community.

The content editor will auto-link, but, this truncation behavior occurs when the content editor misses linking the URL and the URL is detected/linked by the Forum application (and a few other places in Community will also do this) at save-time.

Unfortunately, the save-time auto-linking behavior is not able to be disabled currently. A work-around is to ensure that URLs are linked prior to saving either via the content editor's auto-linking behavior (which doesn't truncate) or by explicitly linking URLs using the content editor prior to saving.

Thanks Ben.  As we have not heard much about this from our users I think they have either gotten used to the platform/editor doing it the way it does or figured out the method you describe.  We will need to decide to either educate our users or let them continue adding links however they are doing it now but I believe those so inclined have figured out how to link URLs properly using your tip.

Thanks again, Chris
