Link redirect

I'm on the old Tapatalk pro, maybe that has something to do with it. The newer Tapatalk is trash.
To clarify, the link worked if I click thru via Tapatalk (I have the rubbish current version).

When I click on the quoted link on my Chrome browser, it redirects to OF.

I see now. I'm able to replicate it that way. The thing is though that isn't a real link to O-Review, it's just an ad imbedded in the post. Here's the bare URL:

Code:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_142326756202111&key=4219983b217a72350ba6feac1d6b2be4&libId=3e5058dc-d4d9-4fe9-b3fb-fb6888932a5d&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oakleyforum.com%2Fthreads%2Fx-squared-x-metal-ruby.40828%2Fpage-2%23post-461070&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fo-review.com%2Fdatabase_detail_model.php%3FID%3D3011%26table_name%3Dglasses&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oakleyforum.com%2Fthreads%2Flink-redirect.41176%2F&title=For%20Sale%20-%20X-Squared%20X-Metal%2FRuby%20%7C%20Page%202%20%7C%20Oakley%20Forum&txt=O-Review


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.
