Is it just me, or does everyone using Safari on mac (doesn't do it on chrome) have a viglink page pop up whenever a link from eBay is clicked on posted on here?

This was also happening with Firefox on windows 10 as well but seems OK now, again didn't happen with Chrome.

Running Win7.  Deffo happening with me; a couple of weeks ago links eBay links from here were taking me to eBay.ne in Holland, complete with Dutch language.

Just tried (from another thread here) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soundcraft-EFX8-Mixing-Desk-Mixer-with-Lexicon-FX-Effects-Band-Karaoke-PA-/322481162155?hash=item4b156007ab:g:WV8AAOSwTM5Y7iM5

and clicking that link takes me to http://www.viglink.com/shop/query/soundcraft+efx8+mixing+desk+mixer+with+lexicon+fx+effects+band+karaoke+pa+

If I carefully select the text and copy it and then paste that into my browser, it takes me to the correct place.

If you let viglink take you somewhere, look for a link on new page saying, "why am I here", click that, and there is an easy to find "opt out" button, that saves a cookie to stop you being redirected.

It was a way for the forum to be funded, so click through to ebay, from SP, gives them 1p, or something similar!

Two Page Downs and there it was in tiny writing - but it's a link that worked and eBay links now work fine for me.

Many thanx Matt.
