    Hi witnessmenow,
    I had to doublecheck this but this is Skimlinks which we posted about earlier this year here.
    Skimlinks is software that can turn certain standard web-links on Boards (typically links to online retailers with whom Skimlinks has a relationship) with into affiliate links, also known as tracked links. These tracked links are then marked as coming from Boards. If a member or reader ends up purchasing something then the retailer pays an affiliate fee which is shared between Skimlinks and Boards[...]

    Redirect.at is the Skimlinks redirection service. The IP address may be the reason that you are re-directed to Amazon.com instead of .co.uk alright, it's something we will look into here and let you know if there is anything we can do to amend it.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Hi Niamh,

    Thanks for the reply, its pretty annoying, The only way I can actually go to the amazon.co.uk link is to either go into edit mode on the post or quote the post and copy and paste it from there.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
