Description yo 2013-08-12 17:19:30 UTC

For the sake of the end-user and to satisfy curiousity of theirs, expand short urls provided by any service, be it Twitter, OCS or Status.net/Pump.io.

http://longurl.org/api provides a universal API for doing so.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Choqok.
2. Look at post.
3. ???
4. Get confused.

There's already a tooltip on anchor over, should be easy to replace text.

Comment 2 Mehrdad Momeny 2015-04-03 03:32:10 UTC

In the latest released code we introduced a new plugin for expanding URLs and it's using the longurl.org service, so this is fixed.

If you meant to REPLACE the shortURL with the longer one, then I should change this to WON'T FIX state! as we don't want to make the GUI ugly showing ridiculously long URLs.
