i cant stand how when you post a link with a long url its automatically abbreviated (dice it in half, delete center of text body and fill with "..." and thus turns into a bad link.

is there a way to fix this?

perfect example, check this thread out:

i know that abbreviation is not supposed to affect the actual link, but often times it does.

Barker
Use tinyurl if it bothers you that much..?

agreed

Schecter
i see this problem alot when people make threads and nodody can use the link to the topic. its not about what "bothers" me.


what is "tinyurl"?

Barker
Oh.


www.tinyurl.com


It links to your link with a shorter link.

Schecter
well, thanks. ill remember that for my own posting.
still its a general pain in the ass for forum goers.

Barker
Yeah, kind of.

Especially when some newb comes on with a link you're interested in and messes it up.
