Hey guys I’m just testing / trying out the links software on my forum, but unable to hide the target URL of the link for all users. I want the link to be active so users can download files, but not find out what the target URL is.

The reason being is I’m trying to link up around 20gb of Honda workshop manuals for my site, and I don't want the source URL to be known to the person clicking on the link other wise people will just re host my information and link directly to the URL instead of my forums.

Typically the link file is linked to a .PDF or Zip file how do I hide the target URL but still when people click on link options and then click on view site it just downloads the file, whilst not showing them the URL or the view links details section ?
Any advice or further information would be fantastic

Regards James

If they are just pdf and zip files, I think you can prevent hotlinking by using rewrite function on server. I am not an expert on this. You might want to look and search for subject hot linking
