First of all, let me emphasise that this is NOT a problem as such, just a strange new "feature" I've only noticed today.
First, some background. I use Firefox as my web browser and I have a number of add-ons installed. One of these is Noscript. It filters out javascripts and other potentially nasty utilities that can be used to break into your computer.
Obviously I let Bladeforums through and allow it to do what it does but one of the things I don't normally let through is google-analytics.com which tries to weasle its way in on the back of most other web pages.
Just today I've noticed that noscript is blocking google-analytics from trying to run a script every time I click on the 'User CP' and 'New Posts' links at the top of the BF window.
As I say, it's not a problem, I just let noscript do its blocking and BF runs as normal. I'm somewhat curious though as to why its just started doing this.
No big deal.
