There is a box you can click on, in the warning, to proceed anyway. But personally I doubt many members, especially new members, are going to be willing to take the risk. Providing new members with links to what I hope are informative & useful articles from the archives can be time consuming. So if this is the way it is going to be, I will, in all likelihood stop doing it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Im not sure if its a new thing or problem here but I have seen this happen on other websites too.
over the years since I have had my computer and web surfing many websites notify a person when they have clicked on a link that does not belong to the site. this is so that the people that click on these links knows the website that the link is on is not responsible for the content and any harm (virus's and such ) that the website in the link may have.
I like it when I get these kinds of pop ups they warn me ahead of time that I am leaving the site I am on and to continue at my own risk.
my point maybe what ever you are clicking on is going to take you off of psych central website. just a general hey in case you dont realize this but the link is going to lead you somewhere else off of psych central do you really want to leave psych central and visit the site the link is going to take you.
