What it means
What happened
A turl.ca short link cannot point back at turl.ca or its preview host.
Why
Why it might have happened
- That would create a loop or hide one short link behind another.
- Visitors should see the original destination, not a chain of short links.
Next steps
What you can try
- Paste the original destination URL instead.
- If you already have a turl.ca link, share that link directly.
