This is a good one, I would support and I think @mothered would see its usefulness.

The fact Is you cannot force members to use the service.

Members with shorteners that direct to a number of redirections, do It for monetizing purposes and remain firm with It - they will not change to a service that does not pay for their contributions. Others that contribute direct links Is perfectly fine, hence there's no purpose using this board's link shoretener service. I like the suggestion, but I don't see how It will benefit when It's not a mandatory requirement for members to use It.

I will gladly stand corrected If members outline Its perks to the contrary of what I've stated above.

I see and I understand.

My goal was to achieve a method to know how many times a link in my post was clicked, without having to use third party sites or services.
Since I do not monetize links, and I can essentially shorten any link no matter the size by simply doing this, there is currently no way for me to know.
Nb. That link goes to llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk

I have searched the internet, and found lots of answers, but none that are viable without the use of third party apps or services.
I suppose in the end I too will have to resort to a third party.

Thank you for taking the time with my suggestion.
