DO NOT CLICK THAT BUTTON !

I did, foolishly, and was banished to Answerbank hell.
All links there come right back. Can't log out, can't go anywhere.
Even "Contact Us" was unreachable.
And the Evil One cackled in the background.
I had to delete the tab, cookies, & restart the browser.

Buenchico

It's been doing that for years but I didn't realise that there was a link to the badges library at the foot of this page. (I've experienced it when I've used the bookmarked link in my browser).

AZardoz

Perhaps that link should be removed or disabled until the problem is fixed. It can trap the unwary, or just curious.

Just realised most of my question has gone for some reason.

It took me back to October 2013 and it took several attempts to escape. I also suggested in my question that the link below amended or deleted to stop it happening to others.

Just wondering why it happened.

>>> Just wondering why it happened

Never try to understand how The Answerbank works, TCL. That way lies madness ;-)

That must have been a moment of bliss, no Brexit threads ;-)

Haha.....had to try once I saw this. Likewise AZardoz had to shut down the browser and open it up again. That is a proper glitch. Azardous even. (^_*)

Togo

Another thing that happened....I had the Bank open in two tabs when I did it and it took both tabs into the twilight zone. Couldn't "go back" or get out of it on either tab without the shut down and it rendered my pinned openers in the tool bar as "lost connection" that needed to be refreshed to open them as normal when I launched the browser again.

Be very careful, not everyone makes it back into the modern age unscathed ;-)

ABSpareEditor

I am going to delete the offending link.

That's a good idea...

Togo

Aw.... I am just getting tidied up to go out for a walk. I was going to see whether I could post in one of the threads ........and announce myself as a time traveller from the future when I got back.
