Redirect function being weird Enter the AD-FREE zone

Each time I click on a link to a non-Poly site, the url appears to be getting corrupted- it's having problems with back-slashes by the looks of things.

Back-slashes in a URL? o_O

When does it go wrong? From the click to the redirect screen, or from the redirect screen to the destination?

All url's. I haven't been able to use any external links from Poly threads for a couple of days- unless I re-write the url to remove the corrupt characters.

I'm using IE- Apolyton is the only forum affected by this.

While that gets around the problem in the mean-time it is not a good solution.
a: it is annoying to the person trying to follow the link
b: it doesn't get Poly additional advertising revenue

So neither parties in this transaction gain any benefit from the current situation.

It doesn't bother me either - if people wanting to sell those products want to pay 'Poly while I roll my eyes at their products that's perfectly fine by me

Works fine on every other forum. It's only this site's annoying "Apolyton is redirecting you..." that's causing it to go weird.
