Are you running any adblockers or anything similar?

No, nothing like that. They do sometimes open. 70% of the time it takes me to that other site though. No idea why.

Very odd, what browser and operating system are you using?

At work firefox/IE
When I'm at home I use Safari on the mac, no problems with it on Safari. I don't even know what that site is that comes up.

The site that comes up should explain what it is:

It is, and I meant I've never seen the site before.

As explained in the message, it's a service PH uses on all our outbound links.

It should instantly forward you to the link you clicked and you shouldn't even notice it's existence, but if seems something either on your work PC or work firewall is blocking it some how resulting in you ending up on that page.

Okay then thanks, I'd call IT and ask them to turn it off but I'm probably not supposed to be on here...
Cheers anyway.
