I always worry about services like these: will they be around five years from now? If
not
the links will have rotted ... |

I do that with the links that have a question mark in them. Someone on the main TAC
'15 thread suggested I do so since linking on this site is really annoying. I don't
really have any other option since I've tried everything under the sun (remove
everything before "forum_posts", etc). If you have any advice on the process, or what
you do exactly to get the links to work, I'l go over and fix those to allow for more
stable, long term access to the pages.

I have posted tons of links in my log and I never had a problem with them. For example, this is a long and complicated link to the Korean Naver dictionary. Press "QUOTE" on this post and you will see how I formatted it. I use Firefox but I think this should work on all the browsers.

Actually editing links only work satisfactorily in Firefox. Chrome adds in line breaks that split the link no matter
how you try to edit it.

I've not had trouble with Chrome.
Here's an example link to my log.
With brackets mangled so the forum doesn't see it asa link it looks like this:
{URL=forum_posts.asp?TID=39782]log[/URL}
It's probably not worth going back and changing the existing links. I've never used any of the shortening services so I've no idea how long they can be expected to hang around.
You can post really long links, you just have to widen the window while editing to do so.
Here's one: Minna No Nihongo on google books.
You have to remember to re-widen the window if you edit the post.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Chrome doesn't allow me to post anything, like
Expugnator stated. I'l see if Firefox woks any better, and I'll work on those links
before the week's out.Hopefully things will go smoother this time around.

I didn't even realize that TEXTAREA boxes were resizable in Chrome/Chromium until you posted that, but I just tried it and I get what you mean now. You can grab the bottom right corner and drag the box larger to keep it from forcing hard line breaks. That is awesome, thanks!
EDIT: This post is the widest post I've ever made on this forum since switching to Chromium as my primary browser, so that definitely stops the forced word wrapping that Chrome/Chromium does.

皆さん、 こんにちは!
私はクリスチャンと申します。 30歳で、 ドイツ人です。 大学院生として働いていて、 音楽学を勉強しています。 よろしくお願いします。
言語の勉強のが好きで、 二年間日本語を習っています。 日本語が大好きですが、 難しくて面白くてきれいな言語だと思います 。 でも、 私の日本語はまだ下手ですから、 今年多くのことを勉強しようと思います。
「げんき」の本で日本語を習ってみます。 それから、「とびら」の本を使いたいです。
皆さん、 頑張ってください!
Hello everybody!
My name is Christian. I’m 30 years old and I’m German. I’m working as a graduate student and I’m studying musicology. Nice to meet you!
I like studying languages and I’ve been learning Japanese for two years now. I like Japanese a lot, but I also think it’s a difficult, interesting, and beautiful language. However, I plan to do a lot of studying this year, because my Japanese is still bad.
I’m trying to learn Japanese with the book "Genki". After that, I want to use the book "Tobira".
Good luck, everybody!

Hi everybody and sorry for being absent until now. Finishing school, going to ski and
reorganizing my parents' house took some time :p
Anyway, first of all: Happy New year to all 大家新年快乐!새해 복 많이 받으세요~ あけお
め! It's a pleasure to be with all of you (again for some) this year :)
I'll make a proper introduction in each of my languages in the next few days, but for
now, just so you know: I'll be focusing on Japanese, Korean and Mandarin. I'll be
doing some Ainu here and there maybe as I have in the past 2 years but it's not going
to be one of my TAC languages.
I had already written a Summary for 2014 and my goals for 2015 on a separate document
before and you can now find them at my old log which will also be my new log
here
Apart from all this, I wanted to share with the learners of each of the main languages
a thing:
- Korean : I know that some of you follow closely some stars (kpop, actors, etc.). You
may already know this website, but if not: If you put a celebrity or group's name on
Mixtale you can find a place with many recent
articles about them. Seems to be kept up to date.
- Japanese : I think it was Warp3 or therealCZ who mentionned gaki no tsukai on his
log, but anyway if you want Osaka dialect stuck in your head/to become understandable,
this is a great way to do so (not saying it's a bad thing, I love it). And even
better, The batsu game which is held once per year on December 31st, is hilarious. In
2013 I caught up with everything and the more you watch it, the better it gets. Many
many Japanese celebrities will stop by as well. (I thought about it as I am 1h in for
this year's)
- Mandarin: Some of you may have already seen it on the thread about MOOCs, but there
is a class to review "simple" chinese grammar and dig
deeper into those grammar points which may look simple such as 的,地,得,吃,etc. I
haven't signed in but was thinking of doing so in order at least to get the files
before the class finishes. Anyone doing it or planning to do the same as me?
Edit: fixed second link
