Links/redirects not working?

[NiceCupOfTea]

I've tried 2 links in the £50 watches thread and they have both given me problems - is it something to do with the "redirecting" site?

I've had the redirecting links go to some random page the first time I tried recently

Don't see the need for them TBH - slyly making money off a lot of links users post themselves on a forum is pretty damn sneaky.

The redirecting URL is banned at my workplace, so no links work for me which is annoying. I have to copy the url from the page and manually place it in the address bar.

I'm surprised it's NOT banned at my workplace - some things are though because of the affiliate network it redirects through to earn someone some ad money.

Sorry, can you describe in more detail exactly what is happening when you click on the links?

They seem to be working again now!

It opened up an error page of some description, but the URL in the bar was some "redirecting at" address followed by some numbers and letters and the URL I wanted. I stripped off the other stuff but couldn't get the URL I wanted to work either so gave up!

The redirecting.at address is normal, but should instantly bounce you to correct location. Let me know if you have any more problems and I'll look in to it further.
