Now, the links are processed when a message is posted or when a message is edited.

It might be interesting to put together a script to go through old posts and change the links, but I don't have time to do that right now.

I wonder why they changed the system. It seems crazy. Links should be parsed when displayed so if there's a change in how you want links displayed (like here), you only need to deal with it once. sigh.

Yes, but it looks like this:

http://www.cj.com/blahblah/click-yourid-itemid/bla

is it enough to just put in yourid? Looking at the code, it doesn't seem to pull the itemid from the links and insert it into your code?

I haven't studied CJ's/ebay's system much so I'm not sure of the syntax but that's what it looks like to me.
