In my preferences I set up an activity summary to be sent to my gmx.de account on a weekly basis.
In the past I just clicked on one of the topics in the mail and got straight to the details of the thread in the forum.
Lately, when I click on " read more" or the topic title, the deref-address looks like this “https://deref-gmx.net/mail/client/w4Z0ceyUhvQ/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fy5k3dfd5.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me%2FL0%2Fhttps%3A%252F%252Fforum.audacityteam.org%252Ft%252Frecord-transfer-problem[…]” which my ad-blocker complains about, since it gets routed first through “y5k3dfd5.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me”.
I wonder if redirection was configured by the forum itself or if this was introduced by someone else (gmx?).
If the former, and the forum has a legitimate interest in tracking activities like this, I will consider supporting this. If the latter, I will not and avoid clicking links in the future.
FWFIW I also have a similar subscription to the Shotcut forum (looks like they use similar forum SW) and the links I get in their weekly activity mails are unspoilt. (Win10/11)
There’s a similar question here: About the forum - links in reply alert emails
ah - thanks. I didn’t know how to search for this topic …
So I assume someone is looking into changing this behavior.
