If any of you use Firefox as your browser, there is a setting that will allow you to block sending referrer information, i.e. to stop sites you visit from seeing where you come from, follow these steps:

1.In the address bar of your Firefox browser type: about:config and hit Enter.
2.In the Filter input field type: network.http.sendRefererHeader
3.Double click on the preference name.
4.Change the value from 2 to 0 and hit OK.

0 means don’t send any referrer information, 1 means send only on clicks and 2 means send on clicks and image requests.

Now when you click on the ling that TalkHost provided, it works properly and sends you to the target site.

I have not yet found a setting for this in Internet Explorer.
