I just clicked on http://tinyurl.com/cxp84 and I was taken to http://www.scienceblog.com/community/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2829

Which is definitely the right link, but how does the tinyurl thing work?

Let me see if I can explain it...

the very long url's will make it so that when looking at the screen to read, say, like a post, the person reading will now have to scroll back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...in order to read the post.

Hope that helps and was understandable...if not, you can do a search and use the keyword url and check in the "Computer Questions" section and check content. That should bring up for you the right post(s).
