Please, never post active links like that in forums like this. That's the golden rule. There is many people around, newbies and those who are not that familiar with all this stuff. Many will click just out of curiosity, and then they will just get some problems and more headaches.

What you can do is, edit your post and put that link inside the QUOTE tags, not URL tags. Once you wrap them up with URL tags, it automatically becomes active and clickable link which of course is not good. If you do that using QUOTE tags, or even CODE tags, all visitors will see is just text of URL of the web site, but that text will not be clickable, so no one will be able to press it accidentally.
