POLL: do you verify the URL before you click on it ?

[rh71]

Some people are more wary of what they're clicking...

 

[Colt45]

[DnetMHZ]

[new2AMD]

[chuckywang]

What do you mean by "verify"?

 

[PanzerIV]

At work I always do. At home I don't usually verify.

depends on if the linker is a n00b or whatever too

only to make sure the contents of the link text is "safe for work"

 

[RossMAN]

Depends on a few variables:

1) Who is posting the link, someone I know and trust or a n00b?

2) Am I at work or home?

3) If I'm at work and the link is to USAToday.com, CNN.com, it's probably safe to click.

Depends on the thread title.

You're lucky that URL doesn't exist. If it did, I would be SOOOOO angry.

<--In class right now.

"Yes, but only when the thread is suspect in the first place."

 

[nakedfrog]

Most of the time.

 

[BW86]

Most of the time, sometimes I forget

 

[puffff]

when i see a link to a picture, i check the replies to the thread before i click it. if i see lots of or :thumbsup: or 10/10! replies, i click it. if i see stuff like BAN! or :thumbsdown: or 'teh goggles, they do nothing!', i know i probably dont want to click the link.

 

[Geekbabe]

If I'm at work you bet I do !

 

[Kyteland]

All the time at work. I used to trust the pics on bbzzdd.com, but lately I don't even click those anymore. There have been too many that are borderline.
