[IxDA Discuss] Admin query - broken URLs?

[Miguel Gonzalez]

Better not to use tinyURLs in forums, after a month, I believe, they are deleted and won't be of
any help for those that search throughout the forum later on.

This is a forum for advanced users, mostly, only a few doesn't know yet that you have to copy and
paste the link in a text editor and remove extra returns, yes it's a pain but it's even worse to
do a research and find links that takes you nowhere.

Information on forums should persist.

I use tinyURLs quite a lot but only for things I don't need them to persist.
