I don't really use these sort of things, but some people might like these, which beat bit.ly, though one seems to work in conjunction with it

http://j.mp

http://o.ly

http://to

as a fast way to generate using these, no need to copy a url then go there and paste - instead, when you're still on the web page you want to shorten, go in the browser address window and just type j.mp/ or o.ly/ or to/ in front of the whole url and press return

I have tested all 3 of these suggestions, and there seem to be problems with at least 2 of them !        :

For example, the URL for this thread becomes http://j.mp/bmk4OJ  which is correct,        Smiley
 
but http://o.ly/iAn takes you to the forum as a whole, not to this specific thread.        Roll Eyes

The http://to is quite simply wrong: it does not work from here, but gives an invalid URL report.        Huh

I suspect that it should be written as www.to       Wink

( However, that never seems to work, as it tells you over and over that you have entered a wrong security code. )        Cry

That's why I don't much bother with these, but there will be times when it's useful to have a short url, for example reading something in a PC browser then wanting to enter it into a phone browser without having to go first to the page it's on and select it

Sorry andy, that's no better.   http://to. is still invalid here:-

  Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Only www.to will from from this internet connection.        Wink

BTW this one worked this afternoon:-   http://www.to/23fbd        Smiley

I'm a bit perplexed about that one, as it doesn't divert but just mirrors - the url is still the same not foneforum

I wonder about security issues if logging in, just tried it with a fake name and it said that doesn't exist, but I'm not going to do it for real

There is also bit.ly but it is not as short as the ones you have there...
