It would be a good thing if you would take the time to read some of the many threads on these forum where it has been stated repeatedly not to post clickable links to software vendors. The issue is simple. When you post a clickable link, this website becomes the "referrer" listed in the webpage that is opened in your browser and the website host can check that "referrer" and have a direct link back here. Not a good plan. It is very easy toa void that issue. Always uncheck the "Automatically parse URLs" button and use "hxxp". "h**p", "wxw" or some such. Then when the user pastes the URL into THEIR browser and fixes the link, THEIR browser becomes the "referrer" rather than this website.
Please observe the rule.

Regards,
