Clicking links now requires an intermediary confirmation page?

Thanks everyone  I thought  I had done something wrong. I thought getting locked out of my account was bad enough, this is driving me mad. Its almost like they want us all to leave.

This might be the final straw for alot of users, myself included.

MSE used to be THE NO.1 PLACE on the web for competitions, now it really is a shadow of its former-self.

These past 16 months they've managed to drive all the major posters away (esp after the time-limiting for posting, which is enough to put anyone off)

The interface is ruined, after the update, have completed blagged / made false promises for any changes we've asked for MANY MONTHS, even with posters starting threads in hope it can be saved / we can be listened too.

Let's be honest I've seen nothing to assure me it ever will.

The search function is still the worse I've ever seen.

Even had the cheek to ask us about a flipping colour scheme, as if that's important!!!

...Now they've put this completely pointless, time-wasting link nosense, honestly, I despair.

No wonder everyones leaving in droves., I bet the site has taken a big hit with visitors too, COMP section always had the most users by far.

Such a shame, always loved it here, but loquax / competition database seem to have their act together, it's not surprising people are jumping out of a sinking ship.

Amsquared posted a complaint on Moneysavingexpert.com Facebook page which prompted me to add there:

For goodness sake get rid of the Leaving Page before all your Competition Site users Leave! We don't care much about colour schemes and how the menus look, we just want things like Search to work properly. If you are trying to rid the site of Competitions Time, just say so and shut down the Forum, it would be less cruel than this Death of a Thousand Cuts.

Can't see that post - did they delete it? Though two others have posted similar since.
