Clickthrough URL too long

Hi, I'm having difficulty saving my click through URLs attached to images in my gallery - whenever I try to save them, I'm told they're too long (300, where the max size allowed is 250). Is there a work-around this? I can't see how I can cut down the length of the URL and have it still work, or find any alternative! Advice gratefully received - thanks!

Have you try some link shorten service?

I've been using tinyrurl.com recently. I've not tried a 300 character one but it doesn't hurt to check it out.

I used bit.ly previously but ran into their number of shortened URLs limit, which is different from the length of each URL.

I never pushed the length of URL variable in URL shortening.
