@IamtheZombie

Rebecca, do you remember Bonkey's thread about links the other day? Well, your link is doing just what her links were - taking Zombie to a re-direction page:

Redirect Notice

The previous page is sending you to www.bangingtunes.com/forum/topic/t82278/.

If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.

The URL in the address bar is a Google search result. Zombie has to click on the www.bangingtunes.com/forum/topics/t82278/ on the re-direction page in order to get to the final destination.

Zombie wonders if Google has changed something? Or if it's a browser thing (Zombie uses Firefox)?

How odd?

How about this?

Feels like one of those jokes you have to explain so it is no longer funny.

Will ask tech what is happening.

@NetworkGuy

The full link is just www.bangingtunes.com/forum/topics/t82278/

however, your link from your browser (which browser, which OS? I'm using Safari on an iMac this morning) is adding all that Google junk. Presumably you are using something like Chrome or have logged in on Google for GMail or YouTube and it appears your browser is adding all that junk.

OR

maybe you searched on Google and did a 'Copy link' click from the search page, which is therefore including the Google redirect (and since we're not logged in with your Google session, we see this extra page, while your browser would go to www.bangingtunes.com/forum/topics/t82278/ for you [after briefly visiting the Google link and then switching for you]

Thanks NetworkGuy, I have spoken to tech who have sorted, it was a spammy site Blush

@NetworkGuy

Really strange - for a moment I was seeing your whole link with Google (and that you are using Firefox on Apple ? said Firefox-a or similar) but now the link in your 09:51 post no longer shows the Google bits when I hover over it so did Tech modify the posting ?

Nope, I did

Just zapping the spammy links, nothing else
