I just clicked on the installed program (while in this thread) to see how many sites it has blocked so I could report the number and up came an interesting message. It gave me the choice to block sowpub from tracking me or not block sowpub from tracking me.
Why would sowpub track me? I don't know and don't care since I voluntarily joined this forum and really like it. But, the program nonetheless gave me the option so now I am curious.
What was it really telling me?
Cornell, would you have any idea?
Anyone else using it, have any ideas?
Hi Tom,
It most likely is related to the vBulletin software we use for the forum.
Might have to do with "cookies" (so that the forum "remembers" who you are, so you can be "automatically" logged in when you visit)?
That's the only thing I can think of at the moment...
The only "fancy schmancy" software I use on Sowpub is the forum software, so I don't think it could be anything else...!
Best wishes,
Dien
