Clicking links now requires an intermediary confirmation page?

Get it off and stop wasting our time.

This change is so infuriating! Instead of improving the forum, it's just being made worse.

Another painful change to put up with   Why have they done this?

Presumably you only need to do this once and it remembers your choice for next time?

It seems to be every single link, every single click, and I couldn't find an option to disable it.

Ah, it's not just me then.....
I'm starting to think that MSE just want us all to go elsewhere, the "improvements" have consistently made it harder to comp....

I've just had a grumble on their 'changes to forum' link at the top of this page. Are they consulting with any of the actual forum users before they put these changes in? I can't see myself continuing on here if this new change stays - probably doing me a favour as I spend waaaay too long comping

Yep, I was just using the swagbucks thread and every link clicked it popped up (you might click 1 to 10 or more links to try and "win" a search reward - not worth the bother to use this site to do that anymore)

I don't normally bother commenting here that much - but this link thing is awful!!!! I've been faithful to MSE for just over 10 years but this is horrendous!!!  I give up for tonight and hope I wake up to it being back to normal....

Just came here to see what was going on. This is going to be a nightmare with the Mag Dailies. Why do they have to mess with things that aren't broken.

It leads you to a new MSE page such as....


.... and you have to click on the link on this new page to get where you want.

PLEASE GET RID OF THIS NOW

On "Competitions Time" just about EVERY thread has a link to a third party site so you can enter the competition. This feature is UNIVERSALLY HATED and could lead to yet another tranche of users deserting the MSE forum.
