Hi,
I notice that whenever I publish a new hub, I am given an alternate, shorter URL I can use to link to that hub. I've never paid much attention to that, but now I would like to use the shorter URL for one of my hubs. The problem is I never recorded them and now I don't know how to find them anywhere. Is there a way I can retrieve that information?
Thanks.
Beats me, must be a new feature I wasn't aware of. Good luck with that. ![]()
no, it's been there right after you publish asking if you want to link to facebook or twitter.
not sure why you need it, you can make a quick link to your hub in the edit box.
There is another forum on this topic that may have the answer, sorry I don't know it offhand but use the Search

I wasn't quite sure where to post this. I haven't seen anything about this on the forums so hopefully I'm not asking something blatantly stupid. If so, Sorry.Anyway, do any of you ever create new hubs just to reserve the URL for future development? Sort of like regular domaining with .coms Is it...

Why does the /hub/ have to be in every URL as inhubpages.com/hub/homemade-medicine?I know it's for security reasons, but why exactly?
