So the board has finally sucumb to google-analytics tracking

[IanB]

I see our favourite forum is now being tracked by google-analytics. The following code is now being appended to every page.

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-8180730-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) </script>

Is this helping to pay for the forum or is this being imposed from on high?

Hi IanB,

If this is to get income then I hope it pays to move this service to a faster server. The current server is *much* slower than the old server. This is particularly notable if the forum tries to send out E-Mail notifications as part of a posting.

It is also a shame that the JavaScript tampering to the forum appears to have created some script errors along the way. Hopefully this highlight will draw attention to the issue and get it fixed.

Regards,
Ian.

Is this why data is going OUT when playing a video?
