I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to have links past a certain # of characters be shrunk down in size to prevent this:
~please see attachment~
I've seen it on forums before... where the link ends up looking like this www.longasslink...blabla
thanks in advance for any help given ^^

If you're talking about vBulletin's function, here is what it looks like:
function dowordwrap($text) {
global $wordwrap;
if ($wordwrap!=0 and $text!="") {
return preg_replace("/([^\n\r ?&\.\/<>\"\\-]{".$wordwrap."})/i"," \\1\n",$text);
}
}
Where $wordwrap is the number of letters before wrapping, and $text is the text to wrap.

Ok, I saw what your saying and it actually does it in the threads automatically... but what I really want to change is the way it displays them on the whos online... is there a way to do that or to make it so that the whos online can identify the articles section or others like it?

You mean the Unknown Location part? Only administrators see that anyways, so your members won't see that, they'll only see SoliceNet Main Index
