Topic: HIDDEN LINKS IN PICTURES.

[A41202813GMAIL]

Hello,

When I Want To Zoom In Or Out A Picture In A Thread Here, I Click On It.

Is It OK, When Clicking On Said Picture Also Activates Hidden Links That Open Tabs With Sites Not Necessarily On Topic With Said Thread ?

Just Curious.

Thank You.

That shouldn't be the case... S.?
Did you check for suspicious browser add-ons on your end?

Just In Case, I Disabled All Extensions In My OPERA15+ Browser, Closed It And Launched It Again ( Safe Mode Equivalent ).

The Same Thing Happened Again.

It Does Not Happen With All Pictures Here.

You Can Check Them For Yourself.
