Default Need to change site of field that RSS feeds get entered into.
I posted this on vB.com and suggested I ask here:
Quote:
When:
RSS Feeds>RSS Feed Manager>Add New RSS Feed>URL of Feed <-- only allows a url of a certain length (sorry I did not count characters).

I want to use a URL that is much longer than what is allowed (to include affiliate ID's in the URL).

I tried the tinyURL site, but that did not work.

Is there anyway to change so a longer URL can be used?
Quote:
The idea I had was to take a RSS feed from eBay of a keyword search related to the topic of the forum and it has my ebay affiliate link in the RSS feed url as well as the search parameters (hence the long url for the feed). The feed would go into its own sub-forum and as the content of the feed is relevant to the topic of the forum, I may have been able to earn a few $ ...
Can anyone help?
