Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm getting frequent prompts from IE11 saying "Do you want to leave this page"

It's common to get that when you click Back after you've typed a reply to a thread.
But now I'm getting it all the time for no reason.
Just from clicking on a thread link to read it.
Even Simply clicking Refresh produces the prompt.

Using
Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 and IE11.0.33

I've deleted cookies and temp internet files. And rebooted.


Even on my iPhone, I noticed that I had been signed out, and I had to sign back in.
That also is not uncommon, but interesting that it happened at the same time.

I don't notice this behavior on other websites.

I have not seen any error messages but I noticed that I was signed out this morning.
 
Same here - been signed out twice today after months of being signed in!!!
 
We did some work, so the sign out is just part of that.

Tested on Windows 7, IE11.0.34 - there was no leave page popup
 
Hi Tracy, I am afraid I have been getting the message regularly on the same version IE11.0.34 and I am also using Windows 7.

And I can't duplicate it. My IE has no addins since I rarely use it.
Is your Quick Reply window open?
 
I get the issue whether the quick reply window is open or not and I am not getting the same issue on any other site using vBulletin (just tried a few more just in case).

It isn't a major issue to me as it just takes a couple of extra clicks so just a minor irritant.
I just thought that I should report that I am getting the issue.

I did have the sign in issue but that is fine now.

Edit: I should also add that it isn't every time I click the back button (probably about 60-70% of the time but without leaving the forum).

Are you loading ads? Specifically the google ones (bottom of page).
If so - next time you get the popup, look at the ad and let me know. I finally got the popup when it was showing an Expedia ad. But it's too early to tell.

Update: after multiple refreshings without a problem, I got an Expedia ad - and upon refresh, got the popup

I am finding that I am consistently getting the message with the Expedia ad showing and so far I haven't seen it with any other ad but as with your last post too early to tell if it is just that ad causing the issue.

Hopeful though :)
