Gotta love those really long thread URL's... NOT! - 02/07/2001 6:12 PM
Seriously, the thread URL's are way to long.... not good for those who use text based newsletters to promote discussions (which usually truncate after 77 characters or so when the line wraps on most e-mail systems)
For example, what used to take only 55 characters: http://www.cheftalkcafe.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000109.html
Now takes 86 to go to the same location: http://www.cheftalkcafe.com/cgi-local/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=000109
This just concerns me. I know HTML coding would solve that, but that's not really the point here (as you have text vs. HTML e-mail signup). The point is that a shorter URL would probably be a better user interface (rather than having to set up redirects and add a whole lot of work).
I know everything is more dynamic now, but it just seems like some of the calls and queries could be a lot shorter. Does anyone else have this concern or think a mod would solve such a thing?
