This error can be remediated by disabling the Expand URLs via longurl.org plugin via plugins
Comment 2 Andrea Scarpino 2016-06-17 20:31:07 UTC 
I cannot reproduce using 1.6 beta 1, so hopefully this is already fixed in the next release.
Comment 3 André Marcelo Alvarenga 2016-11-10 13:25:40 UTC 
I can reproduce with 1.5 but not with 1.6.

Using Neon User Edition (1.6 version)
Comment 4 Mehrdad Momeny 2016-11-11 01:56:21 UTC 
This has been fixed by removing the LongURL plugin. The service is dead and Choqok is no longer relying on it.
