    Is it possible to have outbound links redirected?

    I would like to have some links in member-submitted posts to a few commercial sites be redirected automatically to a different site that I have that lists those sites along with reviews.

    I would like to be able to have "http://www.commercial-site.com" redirect to "http://www.my-review-site.com."

    Is this possible somehow?

    Thanks!

    So, in using the acronym capability, I can test for "commercial-site" variations, but how do I test for a link and get that converted to my new link? Can't figure that out.

    You're better off using the vb replacement manager for something like this.

    I tried that. It replaces meta content with a link and throws off the page.

    It's loading the file: aff.js and I see the jQuery library, but it's not replacing the link.

    This modification is well above and beyond our support realm. I'm sorry, but we can't offically assist you on this matter.
