Take a peek at the tips (http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24087) thread, there's a section titled,
Saving your screenplay to plain text format, suitable for copy/pasting into forum messages

Basically you save as plain text so your saved pages look just like they do in your screenwriting program, then paste this into the vBulletin message window, then use the CODE option to retain the formatting.

Man I hate those scrolling windows, they're just a pain in the butt, but hey! don't let that stop you from using them! :)

LOL, is a URL to a PDF better?

My opinion -- no, it's a Royal pain to quote text from a PDF into a critique, and some critters don't like going offsite (me included). The easiest way is just to paste text into a message. I'm just saying. Do your own funky thing.
