What the heck is a 'viglink.com'?!?

And why is it stopping me from getting to the actual linked pages these days? I'm not talking ads or sponsors, but links to pages people submit. And you can't copy the shortcut without a bunch of viglinks.com formatting, so you can't skip the 'tweener' site.

Turn that crap off. Or at least allow me the ability to copy and paste the link without it's interference.

I understand the need to have it, but your terms and conditions and polices do NOT have the opt-out or turning off on that page, and I protest mightily that I'm being driven somewhere I do not choose to.

Fix it. Nao.

Love,

I will check into that with Scott, but......if you want help, I am not sure that hitting with a stick is the best way to go about it. Wow, I have just written 5 sentences and then deleted them, so as not to sound too brusque. The forum environment has no way of expressing real emotion, and can be easily misconstrued.

I've already sent the link to this thread to the owners as they would have been the ones that installed it. Most likely it's for ad tracking but they would be the ones to verify. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh. Well, that's different. Now I look totally like the ***...

My apologies for sounding rough, guys and gals, I thought it was the forum intruding into the posts further than they should. But I did say 'Love,' at the end, and meant every character.

And JG, I understand, I've done that, then even hit 'eject', several times. I will endeavour to not be so ornery in the future.

But I admit, I was a little more than steamed at it... now those posters are gonna get a piece...

/not really.
//I'll be nice, honest.
///My thanks to you two. I still say Mods are the hardest jobs, and double here.
////'Cause you gotta be nice a lot, and don't wanna be...
