How to shorten your URL...Painlessly!

Postby Fozzer » Sat Mar 15, 2008 7:54 am

Hello Chums...;)...!

Ever got fed-up with that "VERY LONG" URL Link which causes you to have to scroll the screen horizontally to read it all, and the rest of the text, on the page?

Your annoyance has come to an end/deceased/is no more, with this delightful little addition to your Browser's Tool Bar....>>>

http://tinyurl.com/

This will drastically reduce the length of the link, but still direct you to the required Page... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

...(with many thanks to Saul for the tip, on the Yamaha Forums UK, Site).

Paul...now with a very short URL!...(Please don't tell the Ladies!)... :-[...!

...LOL... ;D...!

P.S. ...I could never figure out the alternative HTML method, ie; "Click here"..... :-[...!

Ah yes, tinyurl... I used that today to trick my friend into going to an 'own3d' picture instead of reading about "New PGR4 vehicle set". Haha.

I personally prefer the [url=WEBSITE HERE]Click on this website[/url] method though.
