I also think I fixed the spamming to hell error, at the cost of it only being able to post one post a second.

I can put the #msgXXXX part in the tinyurl, so I'ma do that and leave it like it is. That'll remove the #XXXX part from the channel.

Ah right. Yeah I can't imagine how hard it would be to use the same TinyURL for each topic, especially older topics. If it's a better idea maybe he could share a solution or something.

I actually think I found how I can do it. There's a topic=XXXX.new that takes you to the latest post.

Looks like it works, too, but I still don't see the point to it, it's still taking the same resources from TinyURL.

Edit: I added the #msgXXXXX to what TinyURL tinyurl's, so that part won't be added to the messages in-chan anymore.

Oh right, I forgot about the pages. X.x

If Alberthrocks way is so much better as he says, maybe he should share the source code to prove it?

I have the source code already, but it's completely different from what I'm using now, it's not compatible with it at all. His is Python, mine is PHP, his requested RSS, mine is a direct mod on the posting function of SMF.

I haven't checked the TinyURL function, but I have a suspicion that they're prolly 100% identical, he's just filtering the .msg part out.

I highly doubt that we're putting enough load on TinyURL to bring it down, we're probably less than a percent of a percent of a percent of their daily usage.

Also, if I did it per-topic, then we'd lose the ability to go to the specific page that the post is on, you'd just go to the first page in the topic.

I think I figured out what was causing the bad post number glitch and fixed it. It should now report either an Omnimaga link or just not post it.

Everything seems to work fine for me.

I'm requesting a new TinyURL for each post since the post ID determines what page it goes to(the .msgXXXX part)

It defaults to Omnimaga.org links when TinyURL returns a bogus link or an error 500 twice for the post, otherwise it posts the tinyurl. The TinyURL that the OP posted works fine for me, so I'm not sure what the problem is with that, it'd be on TinyURLs side, or your side.

TinyURL's ToS doesn't have any limitations on how fast I can generate them, at least it didn't last time I checked, as long as I'm not generating them for spam or other malicious purposes. They provide an API for just this type of thing, too.

@Alberthrocks I also don't really appreciate you claiming that I have a broken, flawed, or incorrect TinyURL implementation, either. I have it working like it does for a reason. Just because I don't filter out the .msg part doesn't make it not implemented correctly.
