Instructions are at the top of the sub heading Seen On Ebay of Swap Shop & Wish Lists.
Also in the Help/Instructions at the bottom of every forum page.

Haven't done it myself yet, but try searching (here) for tinyurl or maybe tiny url as two words. I vaguely think it was described by fc_spoiler, but I may well be wrong about that.

type in this...

`link { link , your word }

but remove the spaces (tried to post this without the spaces and it did the formatting. Doh!
