Thanks. I tried searching but didn't find that thread.
As usual, the FR community on that thread was most helpful. </sarc<gt;
I don't know what script is causing it, but it's on every single FR page, not just the front page. It even pops up in the posting comments pages.
Well, until an Admin Moderator wants to actually do something about this, I'll just have to reformat my modem and stune my beeber.

Aha, I found this source code at the bottom of every single FR page:
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-2288668-1"
urchinTracker();
</script>

I hope that Bill O’Riley offers to wash your back with a falafel.

I’m a Linux user, and I experienced a notable event yesterday.
I use NoScript. I have always had all scripts on for FR. Yesterday, I got a NoScript message about FR—Google Analytics wants to run a script. That’s new. Anybody else? Are these two things related, by any chance?

I’d say something about Helen Thomas and her bath towel, but that’s going Nuclear.

I just googled my name and it sure doesn’t bring up much.

I definitely don’t like this. No privacy here whatsoever. Who/what gives them the “right” to do this?

No, the script is being added to the bottom of every Free Republic web page, and Google can’t do that. You can see it if you click view>source, then scroll down to the bottom of the notepad document.
it looks by the website I linked to that it is an analytical tool by Google to allow JimRob to track where his traffic comes from. Perhaps he wants to see how many articles are linked by DemocraticUnderground or something.
Or the google script could be added to every page sent out by the website hosting service that JimRob subscribes to that hosts Free Republic. I dunno, and nobody at FR is talking.
I basically gave up and put FR on my trusted sites list, so I don’t have to click the annoying “do you want software” dialog box 5 thousand times a day.
