UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback shortening url length

instead of the url being all long and messing up the posts like at http://www.wwwthreads.com/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=china&Number=30393 would it be possible instead to shorten it like http://www.wwwthreads.com/php/showfla...ina&Number=30393 the link will work, but it got shorter.

Poil,
Take a look at this, it should help although I didn't try yet.

let me be more clear. i dont' care about the long urls when typing in the url, i am talking more about in the posts themselves.

Maybe some one can comeup a solution like [:red][ refer post="30505"][:blue]This Post[:red][ /refer ] for the in-forum link.[]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/]

And since the post is store as a html fragment in the database, so there is a need to make a difference on flat and thread mode.

here is what i want to do.

instead of the link being http://www.yahoo.com/collegeclub/thisplace.bleh?dhdhsh=ud8d&bdbdb=Hdhdhd&iudbiubiubd&dbdndnnn.com&iuhiuh98h98h98h=iuhiuh&iunoiuniuniuniuniuniun=6o87g

i think it could be http://www.yahoo.com/coll...niun=6o87g
