If something isn't working

I didn't get the sign-up code
Check your spam folder. The code comes from fewly and can take a minute. If it still hasn't arrived, go back and check your email address for typing mistakes.
It says my link can't be shortened
We refuse pages flagged for malware or phishing, and addresses that only work inside a private network. Make sure the address starts with https:// and opens for you in a private browser window.
My click doesn't show
Your own click counts once it's processed, usually within seconds. Clicks from bots and link scanners are left out on purpose, so test in a normal browser.
