Allow "link" submission without urls

I haven't been able to replicate. Tested on 3.2.1, 3.3.1, and trunk with admin user and with a subscriber.

One thing I did notice is that the "Link submitted successfully message should fade out; otherwise the screen gets confusing with multiple success messages.

Could the problem have to do with the links themselves? Can you give examples of links that cause this problem? I know that the url validation methods are not very refined yet, and there isn't any helpful error-handling for duplicate links or invalid urls - the link submission form will just fail silently.

ahSo! Ok, so my problem was that I was submitting "links" without URLs. What I'm trying to use this plugin for is more for discussion a la how reddit allows text to be submitted with just a title and optional accompanying text, if that makes sense. But I find that it now works if/when I actually include a URL. Is it possible to include functionality to allow it to work without actually submitting a URL? Thanks!

Yes, I had planned to do that down the road... just hadn't added that filtering in yet. Also, need some intelligent filtering of image links vs. html urls. I'll change this to a feature request and work it in to version 0.4.
