Obviously the simplest thing to do is to check the status bar at the bottom which will display the genuine link address (on these fora anyway), but it's easy to forget and its a pain to have to double check every link everybody posts.

If you want to avoid on.toribash referral links here is one quick way to help. You need Firefox or any browser that uses some kind of user CSS file to display pages. This tutorial will focus on firefox.

First you need to go to your Chrome directory, which (in XP)is usually located somewhere like

Save it as userContent.css and restart Firefox. Voilр all those tricksy on.toribash links should have a red background and a white text. If you know CSS you can customize that as you like, if you don't you can either leave it or learn a bit of CSS from the interweb and take it from there.

If you have an interesting bit of CSS to add to this, please post so that CSS-virgins can try it.
