Thx for looking into this.

These are the 2 addresses being scraped at user level:

Device Statistics History with anytime/anytime parms

https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/devi...dSince=0&lastResult=0

(default this comes in the descending order of latest returned result, which is perfect)

My Contribution History
https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewMemberStatHistory.do

(default selection, 14 days).

These are the addresses how they look in office. Directly in FF they look quite different. E.g.

https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/devi...dSince=0&lastResult=0

(Hover on address or quote post as the forum software chops up what is seen)

Having xml=true and verification code or account key feature added would do away with the password/scraping need rounding out the set with what you already provide for the Results Status and My Contribution pages.

For this morning's experience, loaded the app into 2013, pulled the data, signed out, no offering of the slides, straight to front page. Opened FF, did same, signed out and got the slides i.e. the exclusion you set did get rid of the interference.

Just wondering, got 80 odd years to my names, why the redirection to the slides, or am I on the "new visitors to our site" drop-off list? The cookie killer tool [define 3 levels on a per-website basis] and close tab routine, normally never gets me to see this or the front page [and hardly anyone to track my web moves, in my dreams of course]. Just Office acting up got me to look where this was coming from.

We haven't deployed a change yet so you will still see the same behaviour.

As far as treating you as someone new, the way it works is thus:

1) If you have no cookies on your browser when you arrive on our site we have no idea who you are and thus treat you as a new person
2) At this particular moment because we are running an A/B test, unknown users will be assigned to either the "original" experience or the "discover" experience. If you are assigned to the "original" experience, then you will be shown the home page. If you are assigned to the "discover" experience, then your first attempt to view the home page will result in youl be redirected to the discover page (there are a few exceptions noted below). Subsequent attempts to view the home page during the same browsing session will allow you to see the home page.

The exceptions to being redirected to the discover page on your first attempt to view the home page are:
a) If you are logged in you will see the home page always
b) If you have already seen the discover page during this browsing session (for example, if you went to that page first, then came back to the home page)
c) NOT YET DEPLOYED: We will also put in an exception if you are on IE 7, 8 or 9.

Ok - we just released the modification so that this exception to the discover redirect is now in place (see two posts above)

"c) I you are on IE 7, 8 or 9."

If you have had enough of the 'discover' redirect when signing out from WCG, then open the Filter Preferences screen, and hit the Add Filter button in the AdBlock browser add-on, then insert the url

https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/discover.action#signup

and tick the Enabled box. Gone, straight transport to the home page... which is where existing members [like me] want to go [and not be seeing slides I've seen already a zillion times]. Worked for Firefox on W7, next up the Android, a little harder nut to crack it seems.
