once you install this mod, you will redirect to mod settings page, after you enable it , all links will be redirect in new page with countdown. then go and create a link in editor to post a new topic/or reply.

Sorry buddy - I don't understand what the mod achieves. Can you explain how it's used in a forum?

I think I get what it does... just wondering how it deals with current links... and... to be honest with you... wonder what USE the mod will be... why would you want a countdown redirect?   I guess it's a way to FORCE someone to a specific link... but I can see some severe abuse potential.   Just imagine users dropping auto-redirects throughout the forum linking to a bad site like 2girls1cup or meatspin?

Considering purchasing from SMFHacks.com?  Caveat emptor.  Details: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=494081.msg3463426

So, I post an external link within a topic, and members who click that link will be redirected (to where?) after a countdown expires?

It's just not clear at all, to me.

There are some 'legitimate' uses of this, if you feel your users are too stupid to realise that links that they click on will take them off your site and potentially contain content you have no ability to control or edit and are not liable for.

Everything else? Sorry, not convinced it's that useful.

Have you ever seen something like this on vbulletin?  :D so if you did, the question is, why vbulletin use this mod?  ;)
ok forget vbulletin, have you ever seen redirect links on Internet?!  :D so, why some site using redirect links?

Why would you want a redirect link?
So it’s not so obvious but you’re promoting an affiliate link!!
It’s a personal choice…

Also, you can put a commercial banner for advertising in the redirect page, force users to see the advertising!

So, I post an external link within a topic, and members who click that link will be redirected (to where?) after a countdown expires?

It's just not clear at all, to me.

after countdown expires, you will redirected to real link.

Most of the time it's not an affiliate link, most of the times I've seen it it was a warning about redirecting to off-site links that 'might not be safe'.

Well, as i said it’s a personal choice, this mod isn't useful for all forums, but useful at all. it doesn't matter how much.

if you head to the vbulletin mod, you can find your answers guys, i don't know how make you convince! ;)
