    Hi All,

    I an having a problem.

    I am entering a link on a page as ...
    https://us01.iqwebbook.com/FVNC639/~/?coupon=LEAF&arrivalDate=Sun,%20Oct%202%202016
    But it sends this to the browser ...
    https://us01.iqwebbook.com/FVNC639/~/?coupon=LEAF&arrivalDate=Sun,%20Oct%202%202016&_ga=1.189268520.208465458.1457016265

    It's adding _ga=1.189268520.208465458.1457016265 and this breaks the form.

    Does anyone know why? I have tested it on a different installation of ModX, and the link is fine.

    Thanks!

    Dan

      It seemed to work just fine for me => https://us01.iqwebbook.com/FVNC639/~/?coupon=LEAF&arrivalDate=Sun,%20Oct%202%202016

      I didn't notice the _ga string you mentioned. This could be caused by a script or browser extension. Try thin in another browser to see.

        Hi trelgh,

        Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly.

        The link from the ModX site is being changed. I add the link on the page, then reload the page and copy the link and it has been changed. This happens in all my browsers.

          Hi All,

          I figured it out.

          Someone else is trying to add Google Analytics tracking code to the website to track all clicks to the iqwebbook.com domain. They edited my Google Analytics chunk, and that was the problem.

          Problem solved.
