[misc] LinkSynergy

I know that you have to make an income somehow but is there a way to turn off this LinkSynergy links that seem to take over links inside posts. Example:

 

http://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=TnL5HPStwNw&u1=12538X700576X255e81d7e0e3023d88d2335a3af96559&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fccna-on-demand-video-boot-camp%2F

 

Reason I ask is that like a lot of places, we block advert traffic so every time I click on one of these links, Smoothwall blocks it because it thinks I'm trying to look at an advert.

 

Minor in the grand scheme of things I suppose but still irritating.

They are annoying - thankfully in Firefox I just right-click / Inspect Element / Ctrl+click and it opens the original link. Not exactly straightforward but at least it's not blocked!

Norphy can you link me to the thread you found this and I will take a look at options for this. We do use a 3rd party to link redirect but normally it doesnt break anything.

We will review the need for the links as it was something they built into vbulletin a few years ago but we can look at disabling it.
