Pony: Post form searches for "tinyurl" in the link and kindly asks the poster to use the full url.

TinyURL'd goatse in the title field of an otherwise excellent thread. Please edit, thanks. And Merry Christmas.

Can we please not use tinyURL in postings and especially in FPPs.

They are of no benefit and they put a another layer of vulnerability between readers and the content. And they are guaranteed not to work at some point in the future.

Not only do the URLS expire they are recycled. So even if they don't point to tubgirl now they might in the future.
