MozBar tool doesn't highlight follow/no follow, what does that mean?

[seo--team-jlck]

We use the MozBar tool to easily check what links are follow or no-follow. However, when we entered in this URL: http://www.e-ir.info/2017/01/17/security-and-the-brexit-effect/ and we clicked on "edit" > "follow" within the MozBar tool in Google Chrome, if you scroll down to "Featured image courtesy of www.americanadvisorsgroup.com ", you'll noticed that the link doesn't show whether it's a follow or not.

Can someone clarify if MozBar sees links with no indication of follow/no follow as a follow? We look at the URL itself and it doesn't have any indication of no follow. Would love to get someone's feedback on this.

Hey there!

Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

So it looks like there are a couple of problems here - one is that Javascript is used on the page, and if the link follows the Javascript (which we aren't compatible with), this might be tripping us up. That said, it's more likely the formatting of the link that is preventing us from reading it accurately: http://www.screencast.com/t/6qP2w8WDoWY - it looks to be more like some kind of email redirect rather than a typical link, so in this case, it looks like an issue primarily with the formatting of the link in general that's preventing us from picking it up as a follow/no follow.

I hope this helps - let us know if we can help with anything else!
