Search bar redirecting me to Skimlinks

Hi, every time I try to search in the search bar a particular topic, and then click on the relevent thread it directs me to go.redirectingat.com/?rdrflb=1 and says that it is Skimlinks and I have to go through that to see the actual thread. Is this a bug or legit?

Thanks

Hi there TheFurryMenace,

Can we ask what device and browser you are using? If you have a screenshot of what you are seeing, that would be really helpful, too.

Hello again. We'll get this sorted but it won't be until next week- sorry for the delay. Let us know if it happens again after that.

Thanks for flagging this, we're looking into what might be causing the problem this time around.

You shouldn't be being bombarded by advertising if you click a Skimlinks link - if it looks like you're being taken anywhere out of the ordinary or you're seeing something you don't think you should be, please drop us a line and we'll take a closer look.

Apologies for the delay in sorting this, we're getting to the bottom of it now.

Could you let us know what anti-virus software you're using? We have spoken to Skimlinks and we think it could be a problem with the settings on your Kaspersky anti-virus software, which they are working to fix. If you aren't using Kaspersky then let us know and we'll try and work out what is causing the redirect.
