I've just noticed this one. Is it a new thing?

When I follow external links to websites that PHers have posted, I've noticed that all links go through the "Redirectingat" website.

What's the reason for this, obviously you get money everytime someone clicks on external links, but should we not be informed of this?

When was this change implemented and will any of our details (IP address etc) be captured by "redirectingat".com service?

This is something that has been in place from just before Christmas.

It doesn't store any personal information about you, but helps us monitor what products or services users recommend and users click on to go and buy from online stores. It also, thus, works as an affiliate partnership too.
