Ok so how did you get it to not use the URL shortener? I uploaded some pics to my google account and asked the page to create a shareable link so I could post it here. How did you unshorten it?

At least temporarily, it should work again. I'll present it to the other admins that I think this is a special case - as far as I know, goo . gl is google's specific shortener to go to pages on google. Thus, as far as I know, spammers wouldn't be using it to get around censored websites.


Edit: update - seems spammers have been using it to spam free movies. In order to get around the censor of goo . gl, simply paste their shortened link in for the URL, go to the page, and copy the new URL.

Aye, and that's exactly what I did as well, NetWareHead.

D'oh! I was grabbing the link from the link generator and not from the address bar
