Strange text added to the end of project URLs

At the end of every project URL, the page is automatically adding #at. Instead of http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/The-Whiz/723813 I get http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/The-Whiz/723813#at. It doesn't affect the loading of the page, but I'd like to know why it is there and what it is for.

A few days ago the scratch website went down. Andrés left a note that said they were working on it. Maybe this could be something they did? I honestly don't know.  tongue

Re: Strange text added to the end of project URLs

I'm not seeing this...is anybody else?  I go to a project and look at the URL and it looks the same as it always has, no extra characters.  Is it still happening for you?

I have seen it, and instead of (link to project) It is just a regular link...

Strange, I don't think I've been getting it.

Re: Strange text added to the end of project URLs

You can add a # to any URL and it still will take you the same page. Anything after the # is ignored by a web server and it's handled by a web browser. Typically people use it to point to specific sections of a web page (if the HTML page is coded with sections).

It doesn't seem to be happening anymore.
