BBC is as strict as always, but this external link tracking script seem to solve the problem. I have always wanted to track links properly. This is a very post indeed, thanks!

actually, there never was a problem, try going to one of the /go urls while changing your user agent to one of a search engine, e.g. ‘Googlebot/2.X (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)’.

excuse my anonymity, but you might like to check facts.

Good to see that your post has perhaps had some good benefit at the BBC, were you the only person to highlight the issue at the time? Or the first to mention and it became a larger issue at the BBC?

It is still and always has been, a huge security issue for the BBC. Do you think this will make them change it ?
