How to make my super huge long URL link smaller.

I have done this, many other people have done this. If you have a URL that makes you scroll for half an hour across the screen to be able to copy and paste it.

Try using this site

http://www.tinyurl.com

Its simply. Copy the URL tag into the Box, hit "Make tiny URL" and then copy the shortened URL

eg;

Original URL..

http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/private/MITSUBISHI/GALANT/details.aspx?__sid=11949D4951A8&Cr=1&__Ns=pCar_PrivateSpecialFlag_Int32|1||pCar_ImageCount_Int32|1||pCar_LastModifiedDate_DateTime|1&State=Victoria&distance=25&silo=1003&seot=0&__Nne=20&Model=GALANT&R=5582627&__N=4294964597+82+4294966725+834+285+257&Make=MITSUBISHI&state_id=82&trecs=7

After the TinyURL conversion

The tone in your text suggests sarcasm......

Well. it has come in handy on other forums so thought i should share it around. Make it common knowledge as links tend to not work where there is a space in them. such as the car sales links sometimes..
