How to Bypass Issues with Long Draft Messages in ChatGPT URLs

The Problem with Long Draft Messages

When you use a standard ChatGPT URL with a long message embedded in the query parameter, the system may fail to load or handle the content properly. This happens because long query strings are sometimes not processed as expected.

A Simple Workaround

There is a simple trick to bypass this limitation.

Standard URL (May Fail with Long Messages)

https://chatgpt.com/?q={long_message}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

When {long_message} is very long, this format may not work correctly.

Alternative URL (Works with Long Messages)

https://chatgpt.com/#?q={long_message}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

By adding # before the query parameter, ChatGPT can handle longer draft messages more reliably.

Conclusion

If your ChatGPT URL with a draft message fails due to message length, switching to the #?q= format is an effective workaround. This small change allows long messages to be processed without issues.
