goo.gl sharing not working

goo.gl destroys the pipe signs ( | ) in the URL so custom alliance colors are lost!!

URL loads as "...#557:493|1||119:%23FF6600,120:%23FF6600,132:%23FF6600,..."

i use bit.ly to create sharing links manually, bit.ly will preserve the pipes!

atm when i click share on the map screen... nothing happens.

so i cannot test the shortened url anymore because i have not saved any goo.gl links i created previously

also, when i go to goo.gl and try to shorten the url manually i get an error:
"The long url you entered was not valid. Please fix the long url and try again."

so i suppose the share button is not working because the goo.gl API doenst approve the URL?

still, using bit.ly manually works perfect!

the url i am shortening is:
http://map.tiberium-alliances.com/map/100#450:227|2||119:#FF6600,120:#FF6600,132:#FF6600,134:#FF6600,144:#FFFFFF,145:#FFFFFF,152:#FFFFFF,156:#FFFFFF,180:#FF6600,240:#FF6600,262:#FF6600,280:#FF6600,327:#FF6600,376:#FF6600,405:#FF6600,423:#FF6600,492:#FF6600,543:#FF0000,604:#FF6600,674:#FFFFFF,745:#0066FF,907:#FFFFFF,942:#FF0000,1024:#FFFFFF,1210:#FF0000,1337:#FF6600,1366:#FF0000,1636:#FFFFFF,2133:#FF6600,2143:#FF0000,2829:#FF0000,2854:#FFFFFF,3059:#FF6600,3162:#FFFFFF~68ca1c

Yeah seems google sux :D
I'll look to bit.ly API and switch to it
