Hello HF.
I just had a brainwave, i do not know if this exists or if it has potential.
Right, you know when you had a long link and your wanting to put it in a thread?
Well i usually go to goo.gl and shorten it.
What about if there was a app running in the background on your PC with every single thing you copy it turns it into a URL shortner?
So as soon as you copy and paste it would be shortened?
Is that possible, or has someone already done this?

No... You can just run a loop and check the clipboard.

I thought that was possible, just didn't say it because I was unsure and don't want to say false information.

Why not? Please explain, and also explain why I am a "Silly little retard".
If you need that explaining why you would not do that then i suggest you stop offering advice because you are a new programmer.

Been coding for 7, almost 8 years. Been making games for 3 years in pure code. Wouldn't say I'm new.
OP: Use a API hook: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10606...-in-vb-net
I do not have a clue what everyone is talking about here, i have no clue about coding. I just thought maybe someone could do something with it?
7 years and still offer terrible advice. Laugh worthy.

Terrible advice is still better then the advice you give.

I would love it:)
As i am sick of converting the URL'S:P
Well, what would happen if I didn't copy a link. You would have to check for http:// in the link or www.
