Cheers One-Eye,I had not spotted that.

I'll have to check a few of the others & see if MSE Admin has been busy elsewhere.

ETA: I may be wrong but that seems to be the only one that has had MSE intervention?

If I ever click on a link that goes directly to a gleam, facebook app or woobox method of entry I always search for the original comp page or post and enter that way, just in case it is a referer link as I'm never sure how to tell whether it's direct or not.

Looking at the difference in urls between the shortened original and weeowens' clean link, there is a "ref=ts" at the end of the short link that isn't there in the clean link.
