Default Can't open links inside threads

This just started yesterday, doesn't happen any other place than Rlist. Haven't made any changes to my computer in the last week. What is causing this and how do I correct it?

if you are using Firefox its the new normal. Apparently IB has made another improvement in the web site that nobody else has been able to do. Right click link and open in a new window is a work around.

Apparently every link now starts with this URL apicdn.viglink.com/api

Press ctrl+left click on the link and it will open in a new tab.

It is a Firefox thing that happens when you run AdBlock

OK found the problem, Ghostery was blocking viglink. I'll have to pause the blocking on Firefox.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Land Jet, I use Ghostery on everything, and sometimes that stops certain things from happening

Just FYI. With Ghostery you can enable Vgilink to be allowed when only on Rennlist. The button next to the "on/off" switch will make that happen.

Enjoy.

The viglink stuff has been going on for months now. Just IB trying another way to snoop into and record which links people click on. I don't consider it any of their business, so unless I really want to decode the URL from the hyperlink I just don't follow stuff from here. If its important/interesting/funny, it'll show up somewhere else and I'll find it that way.

Interestingly, embedded videos no longer show up - only in RL. I thought it might be my end, since I just re-installed XP and rebuilt from backups, but perhaps it's an IB thing?

Thanks for the tip, just reset the configuration.
