How do you mask links when posting in F95 here?

[DD3DD]

When I post external links, like on this post my gofile link is normal but my pixeldrain link got masked (https://f95zone.to/masked/pixeldrai...eovsaeNEFUkU1ISZzLJlDLoolIKqFe_DkCLkdpB0EYwOh) automatically cause I don't think I did anything differently between the two.

I have no idea what I did different and would like to have all my links masked. It's bugging me to no end

Any one know how this is done? Thanks for your help in advance.

you don't do anything. it's added by the site to mitigate scrapping and copyright bots. gofile expires quickly on its own, so likely there's no need to shield it.

Yeah but I have had pixeldrain and other non quick expire links not get masked/shielded sometimes. But now looking at other links it seems you might be right, pd and mega get shielding but other host sites do not.

This and also because it's host that actively target piracy. Masking the link permit to limit its visibility and therefore prevent the links to expire prematurely.
