How does this work? Seems some internal links in posts uses this redirect service for affiliate marketers, wondered how it's working at PH..

Is this a bug or just my PC playing up as not all links are doing it?

We're experimenting with an affiliate management service which passes some outbound links through a service which checks them against a list of known affiliates. If there's affiliate code that can be attached to the URL it will do so but it won't stop you reaching external sites, and shouldn't affect your browsing experience.

We've used it on other Haymarket sites without problems, and it helps to scrape a few coppers together to feed the PH towers electricity meter.
