Hi, hope someone here can help where googling hasn't.
Firstly, last couple of days I notice that if I click on an email link to a post in a FBook group that I am a member of it doesn't take me straight there as it used to but says 'redirecting' and then takes me there. Only a few secs delay but a delay and redirecting text that I didn't have b4.
If I click on an email link for any other site then I go straight to that item ie MSE email links.
Next, today for some reason I can no longer drag tabs over to my 2nd screen. I can "open in a new window" and drag that over but if for example I have 3 tabs already open then I can't drag one of those over
Most grateful for any ideas, ty!

So you are clicking a link to a webpage from within an email you have received?
Some companies use separate landing pages for marketing campaigns/ link tracking etc rather than having each page having to perform that function. Once the clicks logged it then redirects you to the page the link really referred to. Dont use Facebook but certainly get the same with many other companies and their newsletters etc0 -

Thanks, been a member of that FB group for 4+ years and never had the redirecting issue b4 so maybe FB changed something 0 -
Update: I can still drag a tab over in FF and Chrome so it appears to be a setting in IE only which has changed if that helps anyone help me

Can't say I've EVER used the drag-a-tab feature in ANY browser. <shrug>0

I do. Accidentally. It winds me up so if there is some way to stop it I'll be pleased to know (lazy really as I haven't looked for a fix).0
