For the last several months whenever I click on the Ringside advertisement links I'll face an error such as:
"redirect.viglink.com’s server DNS address could not be found."
Or some form of Viglink not working. This is the only site that I ever have trouble with.
I suspect it to be related to this site only due to this article: finance.yahoo.com/news/proboards-partners-viglink-create-monetization-165751254.html
And on a different forum I found this post to give a little more info: modeleng.proboards.com/thread/11455/redirect-viglink-com-server-address
"It's apart of the Proboard advertising revenue, every link that someone posts, has a redirect via viglink website, that's what you're seeing. They track the URL and receive money from it, it costs money to stand up and support a forum like this, so they'll try and make whatever money they can from advertising. This has been occurring on the internet for years now, sites, like quidco and topcashback use similar methods.

I hope this answers your question."
This should be fixed because it doesn't allow you to directly view Ringside links, and I'm not going out of my way to open new tabs and find the page its referring to when the link should just work.
Thanks.
PS - This is happening with Google Chrome 52 (and previous versions) on Windows 10.
