I just started having this problem also. You are right. I will leave if this PIA continues. This is a Google company that tracks what we visit and see. I am not going to play that game with the inconvenience it causes.

There are about 15 to 20 redirects that load with a couple hundred "requests" from them every time you load a CF page. Not just doubleclick.
It seriously affects the speed of your surfing. All Internet Brand forums are the slowest on the net.
Use the addon "disconnect" for chrome and you won't even get the vendor advertising on the left.
BTW, my back button on the screen and also on the mouse always worked but did hang a bit with doubleclick.

It is too bad that use paying members have to put up with this, I guess it is the whole mighty $$$$, I have a few websites I have on line and it doesn't take long to fix things that don't work, I wonder if IB even checked into a fix yet, I am thinking no or it would of been fixed by now.

I know that the issue was first reported here almost exactly 1 week ago, to which I requested some information and responded that I couldn't duplicate the issue in a stock IE setup. It wasn't until later did some of the requested information arrive, along with added confirmation from other members. Additionally, it doesn't appear to me that it was occurring all the time as some didn't report the issue (or notice it) until just recently as some in this thread have also stated. Because this is considered a holiday weekend, I'm sorry to say it may not be fixed as quickly as desired but I will check further.

While moving the thread to the Help forum may not result in as much exposure to other members as it would in other sections, not only is the Help forum the place where members go for software/website/account issues, but what it does do is help get the proper people involved. When issues like these occur, I am one of the people that can either fix the issue directly or file a case and move it up further. Instead of maximum amount of exposure, the more important part is that the proper people are involved in order to address the issue.

I am not blaming you, But it should of been looked at long before this, Even if it was just 2 days ago, There were a number of issues reported or posted before 2 days ago.
Just my opinion.

Yep...it's all due to Adware tracking cookies. Screws up the back arrow function that I always use. Too much for IB to solve this??

Hey Corvette Forum Mods, How about an update? I bet it took them all of 5 mins to mess it up and it is taking weeks to fix.
Good job.

Seriously try Chrome and use the "Disconnect" add on.
Without it I get 166 requests and using it only 7. Big speed difference.
You may want to try a wireless Logitech M325 mouse. It's small and the best feature is the tilting the scroll wheel to the left, backs up a page, to the right forwards a page. Wouldn't be without it, less than 20 bucks on sale.

Yup - this is a persistent issue. Its because of screwed up ads that use what's called a "cache buster" to make sure you always get a fresh ad rather than what you have cached.
They fix one but the ad group they belong to pumps out more every day.

When we are able to report to IB which ads are causing the problems, they contact the third-party generating the problem ads and have them removed.
Providing a screen would be ideal. Alternately, a URL on the ad would help.
