If you mean VigLink, it's a way of making money. |

It's also automatic in the forums. Looks like viglink is automatically added for guest readers.

Yes it's automatic and appears to show up once in a while if registered, but always show up if you're not registered. So I have to carefully watch where I click...

Well, here I am as a guest. And here is a link: some link text. This BBCode behind this link is [a href="http://abc.com"][u]some link text[/u][/a] Notice that there is nothing about VigLink in it, so I would like to know why some think the VigLink stuff is automatic. Any examples to show this "automaticity?" Screen shots? |

For me, the link resolves to:
http://redirect.viglink.com/?key=bbb516d91daee20498798694a42dd559&u=http%3A//abc.com/
Hum. Must he some other trigger, possibly if you paid for ad removal? Not sure, but I swear that I've seen them gone in one instance.

Maybe you have some software on your PC that you don't know about that is adding the Viglink stuff. Try posting in other venues and see if you get the same results as you do here. Also try posting here from someone else's PC and see what happens.

No, it is PB that's automatically adding them. Definitely not my end.
Not only that, this is the only forum that does it of the tons of others that I visit.

So why does it (whatever it is) do it to you, but not me?
Anybody else seeing this problem?

Try it in a privacy window (firefox) or incognito mode (chrome) or delete all your cookies.

I've seen it "not" put in the viglink sometimes -- I have a feeling they are edited in via javascript or something because it's changing on the fly. Not only that, the serial number changes as well. Perhaps I need to investigate this more closely, seems the forum code is trickier than first thought.

It's what you get with a free forum.
