URL length

[Proud Pies]

Sometimes when someone posts a really really really long URL, it ruins the thread and makes it hard to read by stretching the thread.

There are many programmes to change the size of these urls. They are generally called 'Tiny URL'. You can do a google search for tiny url and will get a heap of pages.

The one below is a good one.

Using this would make it so much easier to read some of the threads.

Hope this helps someone

thanks Steve and Jacqui, I'd forgotten how to do that. Although I don't have a major problem with it, it is pretty silly that two whole lines of text should be taken up by one link.
