Who does one have to kill to get shorter links? Or barring that, perhaps a link shorter program on our site that will not highjack the posts after a few days?
Grrrr *arrrrggghhhhh* Snarl
I'm vexed, can you tell?

I'm not sure what that means :)
We have a url shortening programme already running on sadgeezer.com (the urls that have .html at the end are actually php pages that have had the urls shortened).
Unfortunately, I've only managed to get it to work on the SG-Main theme and not the SG -Light.
If you change your theme to SG-Main you should see much shorter urls.
PS. The forum urls have a HUGE session variable at the end of the line. This forum post for instance is:
sid-adfc76acf015e3a95d53d6a2d9c40e5f.html is a session id that is added for security reasons. If you want to send someone a link to a post you can replace the number after sid- eg. sid-adfc76acf015e3a95d53d6a2d9c40e5f with a 0 eg. with sid-0
PPS. If you give someone a short url (ie. one with html at the end of it - IT CAN BE READ by users with the SG Ligh OR the SG Main themes.
