Clicking on direct link

plumed90

Will I be disqualified from entering if I click on a link direct from a MSE forum post.

Should I be copying and pasting?

Thanks

I would not think so but out of habit I right click & open in a new tab.

Lots have asked re this in the past & the same was posted.

HTH.

Hi D,

I always use the link directly from mse and don't think it has hindered me so I say it doesn't make a difference GL xxx

As there's an active thread on this again, I've been wondering if I do this the right way?

I click on the MSE link, and then when the page is loaded, I highlight the URL with the cursor then drag it to a new tab. Is that hiding the referrer?

Right clicking a link to open in a new tab does sound one step easier!

I just "drag" the MSE comp link to a new tab. It may be a waste of time but is now habit for me.

I left click on the blue link in the mse post and drag that to an empty space in the address bar, this open up a new tab with no referrers. Seems to work for me in Chrome.

I use RefControl so I can click the link directly and the site won't know I came from MSE. I have it set to <Forge> (3rd party) which means with any links I click on, the site will think I came from the parent url.

I need to disable it for Topcashback etc though as TCB relies on referrer and the clicktowin captchas won't show with RefControl enabled.

You can add sites to a 'whitelist' though and then set the controls for them individually.
