As the internet slowly moves to longer URLs, with better descriptions of the content, truncating the link's text should be an option in ACP (either enable/disable, or enable and x amount of characters, with your default of ~35 characters). It's easier to see what content your link is going to if it's longer than the truncating number, especially if it's all from a domain with a long name, and multiple links from the same website's directory within the same post.

Check around line 200 to edit the output link structure, near:



if (ctype_digit($row['link'])) {

Oh, I missed your edit. I'll try and find the time to do this for you shortly.

Please PM me the URL to your forum, and I'll write the code which should work for it.

Ah, I hadn't realized you were asking for directions. Do you know PHP at all? It would be a matter of changing _getTidFromUrl() in /admin/applications_addon/other/feedback/modules_public/view/view.php

I could look into writing it if you aren't sure how. Doing an str_replace() specific to your forum's URL, then just outputting the ID substring would be the easiest way.
