url never gives direct link

#1

Post by winkydo »

i've noticed that the url listed in IE and Firefox does not change to the direct link of links i click on the forums. for instance, if i want to send a link to a friend, i have to go back to the thread view and right click, and copy link location, then send that to them.

is there a reason the url's where set this way? it's typcially a setting to be made on the web host.

Here's a workaround. If you access the Forum through TexasShooting.com, all links as you traverse the Forum should show, fully-qualified, in your browser's address bar:

http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_Forum/index.php

Coming in through the friendlier URL of http://www.texaschlforum.com/ is just, well, more friendly. ;-)
