I'm seeing it in Ghostery. First time. Is it breaking external links (in threads) for you? No. I was able to open up the CNN link in this thread. I have Firefox as a browser. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1496517_10_ways_you_give_up_data_without_knowing_it__less_if_you_don_t_have_facebook__.html |

Is this Viglink thing new and is it breaking external links for anyone else? Can you provide an example? We're trying them out live now that testing went smooth. You can read up about them at their site, they are basically an affiliate broker. They make money on every link you click on and the site does as well. Basically it beats setting up affiliates with all the resellers and tagging every link with it. If it's a burden or problem for you guys, we'll remove it. |

That and all the crazies in GD. |

I'm getting a 404 error on all of the viglink links |

So far I haven't had any broken links but everything seems very slow as compared to without it. It may not be the viglink thing though, but they seemed to coincide timewise.
*ETA* You just made a little money from Piers Morgan. In a way, he's paying you so arfcom can pillory him anytime it wants to. That has just got to be worth something

So far, Safari is block it all for me. On a Windows computer, I'll copy the URL if posted whole, paste into notepad to make sure it's clean, then copy/paste into a new window/tab. If url is not shown but is a click me link, I will right click, copy link info, paste into notepad, figure out the actual url, clean it up, retype it all out or say fuck it and skip it.
Reasons? I really hate that shit and work network blocks it. |
