Ad regenerating browser history

<p>I don't know if that's the correct terminology, but what's happening is at least one of the advertisements is causing my browser history to think that I am navigating to a new page every second or so. I'll click on a thread, spend some time there reading or viewing, and then when I try to navigate back to the forum main page it is dozens of pages back in my history. When this happens the "previous" pages I supposedly visited are all ad.something.whatever.com. It doesn't happen every time, so that tells me it is just when a certain ad is displayed. Very annoying.</p>

<p>Does it do this with all browsers that you use (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera - which ever you're using)? A bug can be more apparent if the pattern holds true across more than one platform.</p>

<p>That's odd....</p>

<p>I would have to second Matt's question.</p>

<p>Is anyone else seeing this behavior?</p>

<p>Other things to check: if you're using some sort of security software/plug-in, or are blocking cookies, etc., your browser could keep looking (to the ad server) like it's never been there before, and so the ad server keeps treating it like a first-time visitor, and the script keeps re-fetching the same objects from the server with brand new http requests.<br /><br />So along with mentioning which browser (and operating system) you're using, be sure to also mention anything special you also have running that might be looking over your shoulder, as it were.</p>

<p>< Is anyone else seeing this behavior? > Yes, on several occasions. Very annoying, indeed. Using IE here. Nothing special about my security settings. Cookies are not blocked.</p>

<p>Well, after <a href="00ak02"> this announcement</a> (no ads for subscribers) James should no longer be having issues.</p>

<p>Lilly,</p>

<p>What version of IE are you using?</p>

<p>Josh, I'm using IE 8.0. On behalf of the crowd, thanks for your time.</p>

<p>Here at my office I use IE8, and it was definitely doing it here. At home I use Firefox, but I don't recall whether it has happened at home or not. But much adou about nothing, with Josh's very exciting announcement. : ) Thanks!</p>

<p>Here is a recent thread where I think the same problem was noted. I was experiencing it as well.<br>

<a href="00abAU">http://www.photo.net/site-help-forum/00abAU</a><br>

I just tried to repeat the problem by going to various pages on the site so I could do a screen print and post it, but no "success". I think Josh's fix has taken care of the problem for me. I do block third party cookies.</p>

<p>I had the issue again this morning (before I logged in to my account), and jotted down the link: <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N4270.Tri">http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N4270.Tri</a></p>

<p>Do any of you remember what the ad was for that caused the problem?</p>

<p>The most recent occurence (minutes ago): <a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N4270.qua">http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N4270.qua</a></p>

<p>I am having the same problem and have been for a few weeks. It seem to be getting worse.</p>

<p>In all cases the ads seem to be from ad.doubleclick.net</p>

<p>I am running IE 9 with the latest security fixes under Windows 7 x64, also with the latest patches. The problem existed before the last Patch Tuesday, so it is not the fault of any recent patch.</p>

<p>I run Kaspersky Anti-Virus version 12.0.0.374(i).</p>

<p>Photo.net is the only site that I visit on a regular basis with this problem.</p>
