When I was composing my response in thisthread and clicked on the “B” to bold member names I twice got this page opening in a new tab. Sounds weird, but that is what happened.
Browser = Opera 12.02
Standard disclaimer:
The SDMB is not the only internet site I have ever visited, however I have never had this or other redirect issues until just now. Never had audible ad, or pop up ad issues before. Not even the back button issue mentioned in other threads.
This is new … and different.
What kind of device are you on? What operating system?
Anyone else seeing this?
PC with 64-bit Win 7 Professional SP1
Bold, as well!
I dug around a bit and it looks like this was a UTM Campaign Link. Some info and an example described here.
UTM tags stripped from the url I was sent to:
utm_source=adcom
utm_medium=display
utm_campaign=cpa-728keurig-b1
I am guessing the adcom is shorthand for advertising.com as I currently am looking at a normal banner ad for “Brad’s Deals of the Day” served up by Advertising.com
