Who the hell is Viglink and why do I need to authorize them to edit my posts?

Can't edit my posts unless I authorize them via noscript.

Guys I keep telling you, going down this path is madness....

English, Sam, English.  What exactly are you doing and what is it that you are getting.  Is there a link in your post?

 

Viglink is a script that runs to add referral links to links that are posted.

Write a post. Try to edit it (with noscript running) and the page fails to load.

The only thing I should have to authorize here at HTF in order to edit posts are the htf.com site itself and (under protest) yahooapis.com.

I will not give permission to other sites without knowing who they are, even with HTFs assurances that they are legit.

I'll post a link to the discussion on why this is a hugely bad idea again if you guys have forgotten.

Edit: looks like it is no longer holding up post edits, which is a good thing. But my posts won't get your edits to my links, which is a GOOD thing IMO cause once again I protest that the forum SHOULD NEVER MODIFY content that users have typed in with the exception of posts that are illegal or blatantly against the forum rules. That includes links which do not otherwise have sponsor tags in them.
