EM Garage questions

Yep, the garage isn't truely part of the forum software which is why there are some little kinks such as this.

Try (url=http://google.com/)Google(/url) instead of (url="http://google.com/")Google(/url). The quotes are not really necessary.

Your method allows for the title to show, but the link still just redirects to a default maps.google.com while if you do the same thing in the forum it works.

I see the problem. I didn't realize those links used ampersands and other characters that don't format well.

Here's a solution:

take your link (for instance http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...,1.186523&z=10 ) and go to http://www.tinyurl.com.

Now, you can create a smaller more browser friendly link such as: http://tinyurl.com/4xcwgw.

Tiny URL works beautifully.

Regarding the garage and the logs: When reviewing the Fuel log and Trip log, the Fuel log lists entries newest first, whereas the Trip log lists entries as oldest first.

Shouldn't they sort in the same order, I'd prefer newest first?
