 * Hi,
 * This is awesome plugin, my question is that, is it possible to give a wait time
   before user redirected to external page i.e. after clicking on short link user
   will be redirected to a custom page with a message to wait for x second?
 * Regards.

 * … hum … no it is not yet possible but the question is : “what for ?” Do no you
   think that this feature is distinct from shortening the url ?

 * I fully understand your point but my question remains : “why don’t you install
   this plugin ?”
 * Indeed, the requested feature seems quite different from the purpose of shortening
   a link. It is difficult to implement all the good idea in one plugin (otherwise
   I won’t be developing several plugins and would have included all the feature
   in a single one :))

   idea.

 * Good !! It is a good idea indeed but I believe that mixing too much features 
   would be confusing for most of users …
 * Thanks for your suggestion
