DKC Atlas Forum

[Qyzbud]

I'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:

Full URL:http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=1910#p35822
Short URL: http://dkca.net/f/p35822

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.

The dkca.net domain
For those who don't know, dkca.net is a domain I registered some time ago as quick and easy address to type in, as dkc-atlas.com (especially with its hyphen) is perhaps a little awkward to type. Any address beginning with http://dkca.net will redirect to the full http://www.dkc-atlas.com location.

Other short links
Beyond the forum, I'm working on short links for other Atlas features, too — I'll post a guide to these soon.
