URL Mod Installed

[Sonic 296]

I'm not one for installing mods on the forums but I've always wanted to have something like this.

 

When someone posts a long URL to another site or location it can sometimes cause the layout of the page to stretch and generally make the page look crappy if the URL is to long. A small mod has been installed to prevent that from happening.

 

When a URL longer than 50 characters is found is a post the forum will recode it so it displays a shorter version but the link will still be click-able.

 

Example

 

The long link:

http://www.cncnz.com/image.php?image=/images/games/cnc3/gallery/screen38.jpg

 

Will now display as:

http://www.cncnz.com/image.php...reen38.jpg

Like this: http://www.cncnz.com/image.php?image=/imag...ry/screen38.jpg

 

You may have seen this is feature in other forum software like Invision Power Board (IPB) and Virtual Bulletin Board (VB).

Adding more mods to the forum eh?

No, just this one because it was easy to install and didn't require me to edit 20 different .php files
