What's api.viglink.com ? and why does it stop me accessing external links?

Whenever I clink on a link in a post I end up at a page hosted at api.vigilink.com with a message stating
Unknown API method: /api.viglink.com/api/click
Not sure what is up. Vista on a work laptop running IE 7
Edit: Seems to be when clicking on links quoted from another post."excessive chassis yaw" is a $176 fine.

Opting out didn't help me. Links just don't work on the forum anymore for me. Instead, I have to manually highlight them, copy, and paste into a new tab. IE8, Chrome, and Firefox.

Just right-click the link and choose "copy link" or address or whatever the option is. Then right-click into the address bar and choose paste. Originally Posted by Suture

Is VMG using VigLink for ad tracking, to keep watch on what links we click on, and then use that data to serve us specifically targeted banner ads? It sure seems so.
Every time I click on a link within the Vortex forums, it redirects me to api.viglink.com before (hopefully) taking me to the desired URL. This only ever happens on Vortex forums. I can "opt out" of VigLink through the link provided above, but whenever I clear my brower's cookies, Vortex automatically opts me back in!

I logged out of VWvortex, opted out of Viglink, and logged back in... and VWvortex is still redirecting me to api.viglink.___ whenever I click on an image. Is there any way to opt out of this on Vortex's side of things?

Even worse, Opera blocks viglink now by default. So basically vwvortex and Opera will not work when it comes to external links... :-/
