Forum Replay Link Anomaly

I turned off my script, and saw that outwitters:// links were still being redirected to OSN. I checked other browsers, and even computers which haven't touched my script, and all links happened to be changed.

I'm sorry, I'm the bad guy.

I developed a forum plugin that would automatically convert any rawly pasted (or url-tag-surrounded) outwitters:// game URL
- into an Outwitters replay link when you're on iOS
- into an OSN replay link when you're not.

It seems Alex installed "version 1" of that plugin that wasn't yet able to fetch OSN data to display the links even more nicely like in the link above. But he's got the code at his hands and I guess once he's up today he might install the newer one.

As I never had greasemonkey installed on my browser and didn't want to (and neither would a fair share of other people), and thusly didn't think of that, I am sorry to have caused anomalies with your converter script despite making it obsolete, lol. I just wanted to enhance both my and others' user experience around this place; posting replays was simply cumbersome.
Hopefully, once you disable it, the forum plugin should do its job fairly well. There will quite likely be an announcement when it's live.
