Still something @OakleyBoss should look in to.
EDIT: It almost appears like the forum script that posts text based ads is grabbing legit URL links and trying to convert them to the format the ads use. When it doesn't resolve correctly it just sends you back to the forum.
Seems like another side effect bug from that software to me. Who knows how long its been going on, maybe the script or forum software was recently updated?The VigLink thing has been discussed here: VigLink | Oakley Forum
