does FT use keylogging software?
Hi there.
I've noticed that when I click from one page to another in a thread, there is a line of text on the bottom of my browser. It displays quickly and then disappears, so I can't repost it here, but it looks like it's logging keystrokes or redirecting the FT url through some sort of ad server.
Could a tech person or moderator please comment/explain?
Thank you.
ps. Didn't there used to be a feature so I could see when somebody replied to my post?

If you click on the banners, they do redirect you through their servers to the final advertiser's page, for tracking purposes. But that's the way most ad companies work.
