Other long links that were created in the last day and a half might still be broken.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issue-with-very-long-urls#post-881311 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:40:33 +0000 Greg 881311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Note that this is broken again, but I know about it and I'm working on it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issue-with-very-long-urls#post-880817 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 06:24:18 +0000 Ornella 880817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Greg.<br /><br />I have been puzzled&nbsp;with this issue and checked it a few times before submitting the issue, as I would not expect the cosmetics to affect the functionality :-).&nbsp;<br />Before, the shortened link was opening invalid URL page which&nbsp;looked like this (see below, I probably should have included it before). But, the first&nbsp;link in my original post&nbsp;now works as well.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks again.<br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issue-with-very-long-urls#post-880408 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:28:56 +0000 Greg 880408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This one is now fixed. Let me know if you have any more trouble with long links.<br /><br />BTW, the shortner should only shorten the way it looks on the screen. The actual link should still work properly. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issue-with-very-long-urls#post-880387 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:10:53 +0000 Greg 880387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Ornella. I'm on it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/issue-with-very-long-urls#post-880348 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 20:37:49 +0000 Ornella 880348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greg</p> <p>Great job with the new site. It's a pleasure getting to know it.</p> <p>Here is one issue I came across:<br />I have tried to paste the long URL to the private message I was writing, but it was not possible. It was shortened and the link was therefore invalid.</p> <p>Here is what I wanted to link to:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mexx.de/damen/maentel-westen/trench-coat-klassischer-trenchcoat-aus-festem-baumwollmix-mit-dezentem-glanz/p-6bato004-6512/?ColourCode=614"><a href="http://www.mexx.de/damen/maentel-westen/trench-coat-klassischer-trenchcoat-aus-festem-baumwollmix-mi" rel="nofollow">http://www.mexx.de/damen/maent.....wollmix-mi</a>...</a></p> <p>When you hover over it, it does show the full link (please see attached photo), but does not lead you there when you actually click it.</p> <p>In the end had to do it by manually formatting the link this way:</p> <p><div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mexx.de/damen/maentel-westen/">http://www.mexx.de/damen/maentel-westen/</a></div><div>trench-coat-klassischer-trench</div><div>coat-aus-festem-baumwollmix-mit-deze</div><div>ntem-glanz/p-6bato004-6512/?ColourCode=614</p> <p>Kind regards,<br />Ornela<b>ı</b></div> </p>
