Forum feature added: Short links!
Posted: November 17th, 2013, 3:25 pmI've always thought our forum's URLs were a little long and convoluted, so I've developed a system that allows us to use much shorter URLs:
I've made it easy to use this system; just hover over any post's timestamp, and a » Short link link will appear. This link's URL can be copied in the usual way (right click, Copy Link Address, for example), and pasted anywhere short URLs are desirable.
The above example is for linking to a specific post (hence the "p" before the number), but you can also link to a topic itself: http://dkca.net/f/t1910
Update: I've now added a link next to each topic title link, which — like the post short links — will appear when the regular link is hovered. These links are available when viewing both subforums and topics, and will soon be available elsewhere.
