Does it not bother people that the links they are copying to do comps are redirecting them as a referal link through MSE? Did you know that its changing your links - please read the post on - We are currently trialling 'Skimlinks' software. Click for full info on how this affects the forum - Its the pink box (hopefully on the right hand side of the home page.
If we don't let them know - a heck of the comps will lead companies straight back here - how long before they start to disqualify us, as answers are posted on here.

I totally agree and have already complained. It is also making some links malfunction such as in http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2657411

The thread on Skimlinks is HERE , and you can post comments there.

I think that it's a great idea but if it where to be implemented maybe it should only be made available to senior MSE'rs ie those who have 4 stars/medals + as it could be open to abuse

What sort of abuse?

I really don't get this whole skimlinks thing, will it affect competitions/allow websites to see where we are entering the comps from anymore than it usually does? I feel the answer to this is no but I could be wrong???

I would like to have the option of not going through links - as the referral links seem to work now, its difficult to work out just where the comp is from, especially when clickys are used.
If you right mouse click on the link, and then click properties you will see what I mean. This is just one of them

Here's one,
