So far I can see, a few "guests" start using the redirect plugin.
Give it a try:
1. log out from vbulletin
2. try YOUR VBULLETIN BOARD URL/redirector.php?url=YOUR TARGE URL

Even without being logged on, you can use and off course abuse the redirect plugin.

Errr, and the problem is? If you disallow guests use of it - they won't be able to click links. In any case, I don't see how you can call other people using it "abuse". It does not cause any noticeable load on your server, and if someone does use it, they will see your header and footer (free advertising). Just to re-iterate, what is being abused?

For example, www.google.com in the General area will go straight to google, but www.google.com in the Advertising area will go through vBAnonymizer...

Possible - but not with the current modification

when you click on it you get something like..

http://http://rapidshare%2ffiles%2f/...f/filename.htm

all the / on the url after click is still %2f% and the double http is there..

if there is no fix for me its ok byt for other future members maybe its not ok..

(also after unistall the links is still 2f%31%30%32%37%32%31%33%35%2f%41%6b%74%69%5f%50%65 %69%72%61%69%6f%73%5f%32%30% 30%36%5f%43%44%5f%31%2e%72%61%72) this is the biger problem because if you need edit the link its not possible.

I'm don't really understand you...
