    It happens in NPRandOHD. It doesn't happen in any of the other forums I look at. I haven't tested every forum.

    My browser is set up to show me when links are re-routed, or feed somewhere else, because that's a pretty common way to sucker users. I'm sensitive to it. I don't think TPG is playing the Drama Llamas as dupes, but it stood out to me.

    I would guess I noticed it pretty soon after it changed. I posted about it as soon as I noticed.

    uggg damnit, you're just trying to get me to have to join the high drama opt in.... sigh



    if its the it might be that safty redirect (some sites you click on an external link and get the "warning you are being directed to an external site, procede at you own risk") but we have that disabled, so i guess it continues on? Dunno why the fuck it'd only occur on one forum either... hmmm FINE ill join the damn group

    Nvm, found the source.... Hmmm, maybe Bigdog enabled this to help us from being ... nagged from other sites for potentially leaching content?

    Redirect ALL External URLs Posted in Private Forums

    Enable this option to redirect all external links posted in private forums through an internal script. This will hide URLs from your private forums in server logs on external sites, thus protecting your privacy.
    Note: The URLs will look like 'http://www.yourdormain.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http://www.externaldomain.com'

    hmmmm

    Yeah, so am I right in guessing that it basically sanitizes the referrer data? You don't give away the deep links to whoever is looking to track.

    Seems like the sort of thing you'd want turned on for admin forums and anything else where you don't want to give away the path.

    Enable/disable on that sort of stuff is obviously your call (or, at least, not mine).
