Shortly functioning intermittently

[amkaplan]

I used Shortly before, and when it works, it works well. But on reinstalling after my other shortener became untrustworthy, I still have the same issue.

In short, I cluck on the Shortly menu bar icon and nothing happens. This seems to be with only certain domains, of which the New York Times is one. For example, I can't generate a link for http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/17/world/europe/french-town-struggles-over-departures-for-jihad.html?src=twr&smid=fb-nytimes&bicmst=1409232722000&bicmet=1419773522000&bicmp=AD&smtyp=aut&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id

I am using Safari 8.0.2, OS X 10.10.1.

This has been going on for at least a year, through generations of software.
