All the links in the disqus environment are using some CSS qualifier named "data-link-out", which contains the actual URL the link will send you to (and which seems to go through some tracking servers). The href tag contains a "pretend" URL, which shows up on mouse-overs, but which is never used. CleanLinks doesn't seem to fix these links, though. Is this something that is being worked on, or are there plans for it? Right now I cannot follow those links because the tracking servers are blocked on my system (and I don't really want to unblock them). As an example, go to this page, and look at the link for pjmedia.com (on the left). It's source looks like this: <a href="http://pjmedia.com" data-link-out="http://disq.us/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpjmedia.com&amp;key=S8VoVYehsrNqwgFikU4G6A" target="_blank">pjmedia.com</a>
