You have to put the URL inside the first URL tag, otherwise, subsequent links will all link to the first one.
From the FAQ:
Why does the forum break up URLs when I post them?
The forum has a function to automatically recognize URLs and format them as links. However, the function is buggy, and often throws random spaces into the URL. Instead, use the URL function in the post editor (the small icon looking like three links of chain to the left of the editor window. It will encase whatever you have marked in URL tags. The URL goes inside the first tag, and between the tags, you put whatever text you want people to see on the link (this can also be the URL if you want).

I like the random woman... is she supposed to be the sexual attraction?
Nah the bloke with the gun is the best, he's got an assault rifle that looks like a cheap knockoff of the ones from aliens, he's wearing what looks like pyjamas and he's got the head of a stereotypical redneck trucker

Planescape: Torment
Great game, horrendous box art.
I suppose one could argue the sheer weirdness of it meshes well with the content of the game, but what I CAN'T possibly fathom is why they decided to make the Nameless One look like a crusty old Smurf.
I much prefer the poster.

chautemoc: I'd have to disagree -- it's rather boring. Basically saying "blood, tits, vampires! Buy me!" ;)

and it worked :)
i liked the game and i think the bow aint that bad compared to megaman.
now that looks very crappy
i'm absolutely convinced that that poolguy cover is the crappiest i've seen this far.

Not sure this is the worst, but you gotta love the name.

I don't know what the rule is for linking to other gaming websites, but it's not for solicitation of a particular service so I'll post it and take it down if there is backlash towards it.
Anyway, this is all devoted to bad box art:

Oh, come on, this one is pretty good in my opinion. I don't know the game, and if the cover suits well to it. Sure, I'm not sure this is a great choice for a game cover, but I like this painting.
THIS one is a very poor painting...

Oh, God I hate that friggin game. Somehow they managed to make Poe boring. I still have my Cd around somewhere. I should sell it on ebay at some point. I think it's worth a lot. Incredibly rare. Nice concept though. Way ahead the curve on "games as art". Too bad it was about as interesting as a trip to the dentist.

That's pretty much why I bought it..... I think this is pretty good boxart. Great game, btw. That's more or less what it's about- T&A and ridiculous violence - boxart nailed it.

I think the PC art nailed it. I actually like that picture.
But the console one is not very good. The composition is really poor, the character's pose is awkward and makes no sense, her expression is supposed to be sultry but just looks foolish, and she's just a rather lifeless, uncanny-valley rendering, rather than the very nice painting that the PC version got. Even the angle on the blade looks wrong.
