Everytime I click on a post I am getting redirected (invisibly) to this site before the post loads. It now takes hitting back twice to return to the previous page. Once to go back to the beacon link then again to get back to the original page.

http://beacon.lijit.com/beacon?viewId=1

Comes back as an advertising/analytics site.

WinXP/IE8

Sounds like malware on your PC.

cardsfan111 · 04-18-12, 10:52 AM

Hmmm... I was having a similar problem earlier, having to double click to go back to where I was. Not happening anymore, however.

I'm having this problem...one back click doesn't work...have to click twice. Sounds like IB is tracking clicks perhaps? And that beacon link IS showing up in my IE tab and the web address.

I see it too. Lijit.com seems to hold up the page loads.

The Bus · 04-19-12, 06:44 AM

Ted Nugent is an lijit

Maxflier · 04-19-12, 09:56 AM

Having the same issue and it is really fucking annoying.

DaveNinja · 04-19-12, 11:18 AM

same here

cardsfan111 · 04-19-12, 11:21 AM

I've discovered I had the issue on my office computer, but so far haven't had any troubles on my laptop.

IBobi · 04-19-12, 01:23 PM

It's likely a bad cookie.

CTRL-F5 to clear your browser, and let me know if that does not do the trick.

Maxflier · 04-19-12, 02:19 PM

Nope. Still happening.

Maxflier · 04-19-12, 07:32 PM

And it is happening on both my work (XP) and home (Win7) computers.

Didn't work. Also happening on Win7/IE9

Ranger · 04-19-12, 09:45 PM

Didn't mess with cookies but things seem much better today.

riotinmyskull · 04-20-12, 03:18 AM

happening to me now...

cardsfan111 · 04-20-12, 07:31 AM

Happening still on my office computer. Vista/IE 8

I thought Ctrl+Shift+Delete cleared the browser. Shift+F5 is just a hard reload.

Good, I'm not alone. It's happening on my work PC as well.

Maxflier · 04-22-12, 12:08 PM

So I guess we are just stuck with it?

TomOpus · 04-22-12, 01:05 PM

Have not had this happen to me. Running Firefox/XP.

Trout · 04-22-12, 01:35 PM

SoonerDoc · 04-22-12, 08:32 PM
