Why the fuck did you add that Hooli? Surely of all people wouldn't want advertising corporations harvesting data from this site.

Ebay links from here are acting weird for me tonight I think it's a bug/hack - posted in site issues.

Does it?

Only thing I've done with links in the last year or so is update the 'open in a new window' extension. It doesn't mention it does anything like that.

This is where the Ebay links take me (and it's the same on my Mac and PC, so unlikely a virus at my end)

Somewhere is hijacking link traffic from here to ebay and redirecting it
It seems to start at
https://www.textifier.net/
Using Edge instead of Chrome takes me here -
I've had these kinds of things navigating between pages on ebay before so it's probably an eBay hack again.

Aye just clicked the ebay link to end up being offered 3 goes a t a roffle ticket. No going back either so had to close internet and re-open. Links have never opened in a new tab for me.

Bizarre, it's not doing it for me. Which makes it rather hard to try & diagnose.

Ebay links don't open in new windows, no idea why but the extension ignores them or they ignore it.

Like I say I suspect it's ebay or even BT to blame - not you/the web hosting.

It will probably get sorted when someone at eBay can be arsed.

Thanks. I've just been googling & it seems to be something that happens regularly on ebay.

I suspect that it is something on the users system.

Maybe a virus of some sort?

Just tried to look at the green Morris and it just took me to other adverts.
