Modes:

Shorten (default)
The "Shorten" mode automatically shortens any URLs posted in chat or private message.

Expand
The "Expand" mode automatically expands any URLs posted in chat. That is, it takes a bit.ly link and reverts it to its original state.

Manual
The "Manual" mode only shortens or expands links if manually specified. This can be done by putting an "s" or "e" before "http", respectively.

Nothing
