One of my forum members got this warning message when clicking a google drive link from the forum, is this something to be concerned about? Or something to bring up with her adblocker?

neopuff - the member received the warning because they are using an ad blocker, not because there is anything to be concerned about.

In short, Viglink is source of revenue generation for our service. Unfortunately it may trigger a warning by some ad blockers. However this is easily solved by whitelisting our domains, or turning off the ad blocker when using our service.

FYI - as a reminder, our terms of services states that an ad-blocker should not be used with our service. It's the ads that allow us to provide the free forums.

Neopuff,

A member in my own forum ran into the same problem. The "impidio la carga de la pagina" in that message is advising that: "The page was prevented from loading." The cause of that is the 'redirect.viglink.com' within the URL & using the ad-blocker uBlock.

On a related note: Google has plans to kill the uBlock extension for Chrome users. I'm not aware of a specific date, their announcement only stated "soon".
