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.

The thing is the articles I'm linking people to are in PsychCentral's own archives. I rarely give someone a link to anything that's not. I presume (perhaps incorrectly, I don't know) if it is an article in PsychCentral's own archives that PC endorses it. I wouldn't have that confidence in any article that came from another website. I have seen this warning pop up previously when I clicked on a link to another website that was posted by another member here on PC. But this is the first time I've gotten it when I've tried to open a link to one of the articles in PsychCentral's own archives. That's where the problem is for me.
