I was wondering if there is any way to use TinyURL (or similar) for adoptable links in the script?
Something so that the url for the adoptable isn't long and is easier to use for forums with character limits in the signatures.
Ideally it would be:
http://tinyurl.com/randomkey/.extension (http://tinyurl.com/randomkey)
What do you think?

How does this sound?

IDK how you can do it, but it seems possible. :D

That looks like a good read. I'll try it out.
(Honestly I searched several different terms and nothing...)

Meh, I'm not going to try anymore. It made quite the mess.

Really? Wouldn't it be as simple as adding the function code to functions.php and then putting the 'echo tinyurl' thing into the code boxes? :/

I'll try that again.
Last time it made quite a mess, nothing would load.
