pfodo Posted May 29, 2019 #1 Posted May 29, 2019 I would appreciate the forum url shortener up to the level of a specific user comment. It can help to Stake chat be more clean when posting urls from forum there and also can allow user to write more words to the same chat message. In next example it can safe 59 characters: 92 characters https://forum.stake.com/topic/20760-pfodos-rollhunts-giveaway/?do=findComment&comment=307108 33 characters https://f.stake.com/t20760c307108 It is also used by Google https://www.youtube.com/*** have short alternative https://youtu.be/*** and others...
hadi Posted May 30, 2019 #2 Posted May 30, 2019 Yes it's a good idea, but then keep in mind that people will not be able to tell the topic/subject of the link just by looking at it! We're used to doing that and it's also very useful! If we shorten links, we're giving that up!
wry Posted May 30, 2019 #3 Posted May 30, 2019 A big part of the issue, as I understand it, is that it is too easy to use shorteners to scam people by sending them to malicious sites. So this would probably be a very bad thing. You'll note that shorteners are prohibited by the rules.
