Strange URL Problem - need help, advice...

Hello,

It's the first time I encounter this... at the end of one of my pages I get something like: "#.UK4PqNLifA3"

My URL would be plain simple .htm like:

http://www.mysite/myfolder/page.htm

That is the way it's uploaded and works indeed, but upon clicking on that, I get this in the address bar:

http://www.mysite/myfolder/page.htm#.UK4PqNLifA3


Works perfectly, but what is "#.UK4PqNLifA3" at the end of the URL?
I have an embedded YouTube video on that page. Could it be because of that? I never had this before when including videos.

Thanks in advance for explaining

 

The # (hash/pound sign) in an URL typically denotes an internal link in the page being referred to. When you click on that link, does it take you directly to the embedded video? Typically the # is used with an internal tag in your page <a name=".UK4PqNLifA3"></a> in this case to allow links to be made not just to a web page, but to specific locations within that page. This is great for long web pages with sub-headings so that you can create a table of contents.

 

I am even listening to this problem for the very first time.

 

Seems like you're right... it's not some kind of an error, but the YouTube embedded video adds the wicked code at the end of my URL.
This never happened before, I thought it was some sort of an error...
