Hello Wilfred,

RB>> I agree, but have seen some complaints regarding tinyurl in the past
RB>> and so thought it best to use the full URL.

WvV> What kind of complaints?

WvV> You can give "preview" urls to tinyurls, like this:
WvV> https://preview.tinyurl.com/27d8e2n

I did not understand what the function of that prewiew was.

WvV> In which case the user can first view what url the tinyurl redirects to,
WvV> and decide for himself if he wants to go there...

Aha, now I understand. It is a more nice open way of communication.
But from FidoNet friends you would not expext dirty sitelinks with malware.
Thanks for the explanation.

Henri.
