Weirdness

[Milambar]

So, I was viewing the source for one of my pixelpost pages (image_template.html) today, and I noticed near the bottom was...


<!--
<a href="http://milambar.fundungeon.info/index.php?showimage=1" title="Lights of Manchester">The lights of Manchester city at midnight. People wonder why we don't have any stars in the sky here, just look at the orangeness of the light pollution. So sad.</a>
<a href="http://milambar.fundungeon.info/index.php?showimage=2" title="Expressions of Grief">I was sat in a church yard today, eating a bag of chips (fries to the Americans), watching an elderly man tend someone's grave. Having experienced substantial loss myself, recently, I wholly empathise</a>
....
-->


A tonne of those commented out entries. This is a waste of bandwidth!! Yet I can't figure out how to stop it doing that.

Any ideas?

I took a look at your image_template.html and could not see any tags there.

I also looked at the page source of one of your images and see what you mean.

The only thing i can think of is your google ad script is doing this for search / ad relativity.

If you notice, the text between <!-- --> are your image descriptions.

Normal comments in HTML are <-- -->

When you throw a ! in there it usually means it's a javascript related comment.

My guess is GOOGLE. But I'm not 100%

Well, the google adsense stuff is hardcoded into my updated template, but it did set me thinking. I unloaded all the addons, then re-enabled them one by one until that stuff reappeared.

Result, increase_stats.php was the culprit.

Ive since commented out the block of code in increase_stats.php to stop it inserting all that, and its now working as it should.

I really should have thought to unload and re-enable each addon first, it IS basic debugging proceedure. :kicks-self:
