Viglink

[Eklipze3k]

I can understand the point of having it, but for reasons unbeknownst to me, corporate networks are blocking it as it's associated with adware. So everytime I click on an ebay link, any other web link or even ePer(!) I get a blocked page warning and have to type in the address manually to get to what I want to look at, fine for ePer but when it comes to ebay auctions, for example, no chance.

Is there anyway that an option could be included in the UserCP to be able to turn off Viglink following on a per user basis?

Been having a few problems with it recently, the main one being you can't right click and copy any more.

Which system is blocking it? Mainstream such as Websense, or independent?
