Massclicking weird bug

thaliel • 25 April 2017 at 12:52 PM

I am using snaplinks plus, in an old version, to massclick creatures. And that has been working wonderfully ever since. But now that we are on v3, I moticed something very odd happening only here and only when opening my own creatures: after around 15 creature tabs opened, an additional tab will be opened with my gpx+ profile in it. I have no clue why that is happening here on eggcave only, and why it is gpx+ that is opening. I checked with another addon that does the same snaplinks does, and got the same result, so it cannot be the addon itself that is causing this. It is clearly one of the oddes things I have ever seen happening.

Hi there. I'm not familiar with Snaplinks and gpx+. Could you describe to me what that is? I'm afraid that we can't be responsible for any third-party browser extensions you might be using.

well that's the thing, since it happens even when I turn the extension off and use a different one, the extension is not the cause. Basically, it gives you a dragable selection frame, and any link inside it will be opened.
GPX+ is global pokedex plus, a site where you can adopt and raise pokemon. This only happens here on eggcave, only when clicking my own creatures and it has not happened before the v3 transition.
I am not much into tech stuff, but maybe the way your browser is told to handle links is different now?
There must be reason for my broser to believe I want to open a link that is not evenpart of this site, we just need to find that reason *rubs chin*

@thaliel there is nothing in Egg Cave's coding or on Egg Cave's pages that would be opening up a link to another web site. Not specifically that one, at all. I'm not sure what could be causing this, but it sounds like an issue with your browser extension. Not an Egg Cave issue.

but then why is this only happening over here in eggcve, not anywhere else, and only after v3 came along? Very puzzling indeed
