RodrigoHSS Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I open a support ticket to ask if there's a way to short long urls automatically, the support team answered they used to do it in the past but it's not clear to me why they removed that, since I am a new client. Does anyone know a way I can limit the size of any url so it works when clicked but it displays something like "..." after a number of characters?

bfarber Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Can you clarify what you mean? How would a long URL show "..." after it is clicked? Do you mean like instead of https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/457455-shortening-links/ (which is this topic's URL) if this were too long it would show in the address bar https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/457455-shorte...links/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
