    OT: Redirects

    When I click on links I get a redirect URL prior to connection to the linked Ebay page. The ones I get are from SKIMLINKS: go.redirecting.com and go.skimresource.com. I have been experiencing slow searches, page loads and email transmission and thought these redirects could be malware and frustratingly couldn't get rid of them. Then I came across this- see post #24.
    Links going through skimresources.com - Page 3


    I may have wasted hours pursuing something Hostboard admin. may have embedded to help pay costs. But, then again, it might be malware at my end.


    P.S. Can we have links in threads contrast against the message text as they do when editing?
