Shortcut URL to Bearhawk forum latest topics

[Zzz]

We all know that vBulletin 5 isn't really that great with its user-friendly URLs. Here's one way to make it easier:

http://tinyurl.com/bearhawk-latest

It's just a shortened URL to this:

http://bearhawkforums.com/search?searchJSON=%7B%22type%22%3A%5B%22vBForum_Gallery%22%2C%22vBForum_Link%22%2C%22vBForum_Photo%22%2C%22vBForum_Poll%22%2C%22vBForum_Text%22%2C%22vBForum_Video%22%5D%2C%22sort%22%3A%7B%22lastcontent%22%3A%22desc%22%7D%2C%22starter_only%22%3A1%2C%22channel%22%3A%5B%222%22%5D%2C%22include_starter%22%3A1%2C%22exclude_type%22%3A%5B%22vBForum_PrivateMessage%22%5D%2C%22include_attach%22%3A1%7D

It's possible for Eric and crew to do a similar URL shortcut hosted right here (e.g. bearhawkforum.com/latest), and I'm sure they will when they get time.

Zane, thanks for your help! What method did you have in mind for the shortcut? I haven't been able to find where to do it from the vbulletin admin section.

There are a few ways. PM with information about what web server you're using and I'll give you the solution. -Z
