Aye Caramba!

Ok, now it's really really fixed.

So sorry. This is by far the worst problem we've ever had with the service. :-(

I rolled out a new version of the software yesterday and it had a "subtle" bug where it'd end up sharing the database connections between different requests in a way that'd make it seem like you just got a random URL. It only happened in the production environment, sadly. :-(

I use Jabber/GTalk - my ID is ask@plys.net. Feel free to alert me there if there are still problems or if new problems come up.

12 hours ago Ask said he had it solved, but it's not, so I guess he's still working on it. I run a newsletter that has over 100 shortened URLs in it in each issues. I'm bracing myself for the complaints that I am about to get from subscribers.

The same for me here : I had links to pictures that became strange links including a site with "mature" content O_o" As I use it in a website PG-13 rated, it may have been a problem. Hopefully, this url was between [img] tags so no one really knows but well...

Yes, I have this problem too. My metamark URLs are all being routed to YouTube that shows a video advertisement for Simpsons TV show.

Last night, my metamark URLs were being routed to a company that was advertising to do online surveys; for a while, the survey company showed only Chinese text; then, this morning, the webpage showed English text.

Can the problem be fixed? Thank.

I have just swtiched over to another redirecting system that also permits entering a name into the file. It is too bad, I have used metamark.net for years.

There are too many options out there to bother with it. I am just concerned for all those I have posted elsewhere, all redirecting to heaven's knows where.
