    Signature URLs in forums

    Just a tip on using signature URLs in forum posts etc.
    Often I see in some forums an URL to the members gallery like the following:

    http://www.bytephoto.com/photopost/showgallery.php?ppuser=2&cat=500&password=

    http://www.bytephoto.com/photopost/showgallery.php?stype=2&si=RVB%20Pix&sort=1&ppuser=2

    This in my mind is long and untidy, so for those who wish to reduce the size of the URL you only need the address for the page and the user number.
    For example, http://www.bytephoto.com/photopost/showgallery.php?ppuser=2


    The same applies for photos.
    For example, http://www.bytephoto.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=21376

    Another reason why it's better to use shorter URLs is that it helps BytePhoto in search engine ranking. So if you wish to help us promote BytePhoto in that way, please use the instructions above.

    If you need help or don't understand, just contact me at admin@bytephoto.com
    Kind Regards.

    Cool

    Should be simple enough. If I click on the "My Gallery" link, this is the address my browser shows:

    http://www.bytephoto.com/photopost/s...php?ppuser=478
