Skimlinks & Thumbsnap

[northwest monkey]

Couple of questions:

Why do I keep seeing a page for something called "Skimlinks"? It happens when I click on a link - the first time I click on the link, it will take me to the page it was linking to, more often than not any subsequent times I click on the same link, this "Skimlinks" page will pop up telling me the link is out of date.

The other question is about "Thumbsnap" - the "Upload an image (beta)" has been in beta for as long as I can remember. I think it was in (beta) when there were nutters on here going on about owning McLaren F1s and TVRs in fields. Anyway, it doesn't seem to work at the moment - is it broken or is it me?

If it helps, and tech people always ask this question, I'm on Windows 8 with IE 10. Oh, and I've tried rebooting the machine

Bump - still happening.. (not skimlinks but the pictures)

It's working here... What browser are you using?

OP - don't suppose you can remember any links where you had the Skimlinks issue, even if it's now fixed?

So there is... Not sure what can be done about that, but I'll raise it with the tech guys.

One of them was definitely an Ebay link. What's odd was it worked perfectly, then when I clicked it again a minute or so later it came up with the skimlinks page.

IE10 on Windows 8. I've definitely had it working before, but I'm not sure if that was on my other laptop.
