Just tried this great new service @guiltyparties, as I can see how it would be very useful. And I had an immediate "candidate" for shortening ...
My browser of choice is the Brave browser. Your website comes up, but shortening the provided URL did not work. I lowered the shields. Same thing. It did not work.
I switched to my Edge browser (I am on a Windows 10 Professional, 64-bit, workstation). It still did not work. Just a blank screen ...
Ditto on Chrome (the browser I try to avoid like the "plague" ...) ...
Please advise. I know this is new, so surely it is understandable there may be some quirks to iron out.
FYI, the URL I was attempting to shorten: https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@roleerob/two-years-on-the-hive-blockchain
Thanks for letting me know. I see why it is and will fix it shortly. (While I'm getting this fixed, just add a trailing slash to the URL and it will work)
Okay @guiltyparties, I tried this entry (for the URL above) in the "Customise Link" field:
Still did not work. On any of the browsers mentioned. In addition, this is what I get, in response, once clicking the "Shorten" button:
What internet service provider are you with?
Comcast and I use a VPN service with it.
Interesting. Had issues with Dish before but not Comcast. Have you tried it with the VPN off?
No, as I have never had issues with it on. I will try it off though and get back to you shorty.
With my VPN off, same result on all 3 browsers @guiltyparties. On both Edge and Chrome, I just have an entirely red page with nothing on it. On Brave, I have the error I provided you an image of above.
All after clicking on the "Shorten" button ...
