A new internal feature is being rolled out tonight, where all URLs will have the following format:

http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/redirect.php?r=your_url_here

This is part of an ongoing effort to increase user awareness regarding scams on sites that are outside of the Gaia Online web site.

When a user is redirected to a site outside of Gaia Online, they will be provided some basic information, along with a link to follow to the web site itself. Please, always remember that an external web site will NOT ask for your Gaian Username and Password. Rest assured, anything Gaia Online does will be on the www.gaiaonline.com web site, the same site you are using right now.

Please remember, don't share your Gaia Password or your Gaia Security Answers with people and help us help you protect your account! smile

For those who are having trouble with tinyURL, shortURL, or the URL trimming web site of choice, we have made a fundamental change to the way signatures can be stored.

In your signatures, URL tags will not count towards your total signature limit. This means you are able to use the full Gaia URL in your signature, without any penalty for length or limiting of your signature. We hope this helps everyone who has had issues with redirects, Gaia, and short URL services.

In a continuing effort to avoid direct impact on a gaia user's experience, we have redesigned the redirect to provide basic frame functionality. Instead of an entire redirect page, we will instead be loading a Gaia style notice into the top frame with an option to close the frame on request.

We hope that the redirect will continue to protect Gaians in the future, will still allowing URL linking to images and off-site pages.

Thank you everyone for being so patient while we rewrite URL functionality for Gaia. smile
