Using tiny url for BBO hands....

[inquiry]

Some day, hopefully, we will get the new handviewer thing implemented inside the BBO forum so that we can have pretty hands with formatted bidding and even card play live inside these pages. If only i had a clue about how to get that done.

 

In the meanwhile, I want to point out the use of tiny url to change the long and winding things like this:

Into something small and useful like this:

Go to http://tinyurl.com to see how this stuff works. I think someone on this forum first pointed this out to us, but I wanted to remind users of this neat trick.
