This addon has some issues a VigLink programmer should take care of. I had to disable VL for now:
When you´re writing a PN with a link in it, the links becomes broken. It seems VigLink is programmed that way, that every single URL which becomes parsed is modified with the call of some kind of api at the viglink host. I assume that api is to slow to return the results of a matchanalysis for insert/covert links rewriting and the link becomes parsed half rewritten. At least this isn´t working that way for me.
Just a note to non-us/en users:
VigLink can´t return localized linktargets - i.e. for TLD´s like .nl, .de, .ch. They don´t have VigLink connected to a GeoIP-database yet, so the linktargets of rewritten URL´s end up in 99% on .com sites. Therefore these are nearly all in english, a visitor of a european/non-english forum will close the site - if he´s not aware of the .com TLD in the first place. That way in all the time the AddOn was running I generated zero revenue.
Guess it will take some time until this VigLink is really ready for sites outside the us/en world. A pity..
