thanks for the explanation. for us non i.t. types we just think it's a simple thing but have no idea about all the things that go on behind the scenes.
it's especially confusing when someone creates a link but then types a description of what the link is instead of showing the https .... for example " cheap gumwall tyres " so you have no idea if it's a mark all read type scenario, daily heils website or an actual link to cheap gumwall tyres.
if it goes through you and you moderate that must help stop people linking malicious websites or websites with known viruses on via databases of dodgy websites and ones to avoid. but it's rare i click on a website that i don't know or has some weird web address just in case of scams viruses
