Please could we have the feature back that shortened the visible URLs without affecting the link to avoid pages becoming massively wide? I know the last version of the forum software did it but this one doesn't seem to.

This is the kind of thing I am talking about www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=388461 Sciroccology's multimap URL causing the page to be mahooooooooooooooooooooosive.

Thanks.

Mark - FYI - I've edited the post to fix the 'scrolling' issue.

But the issue still applies.

Another slant on "Website feedback", logged on this evening, first log on in about 10 days, and it says at the top of the page

Welcome back Vipers. Last visit was Yesterday (21:34)


A programming glitch, or what?

That part of the code hasn't changed yet, but a more robust version that should catch all URLs is undergoing testing currently.
