It is annoying to have to close this tab every time I launch Chrome.
The source code to this link are in the utils.js file lines 442-456.
Code:
Select all
function getRedirectURL(id_or_kw) {
const version = chrome.runtime.getManifest().version
const prefix = `http://rd.imacros.net/redirect.aspx?type=CR&version=${version}`
if (typeof id_or_kw == "number") {
return `${prefix}&helpid=${id_or_kw}`
} else if (typeof id_or_kw == "string") {
return `${prefix}&helpid=102&kw=${id_or_kw}`
function getRedirFromString(idString) {
const version = chrome.runtime.getManifest().version
const prefix = `http://rd.imacros.net/redirect.aspx?type=CR&version=${version}`
return `${prefix}&helpid=${idString}`
Please get rid of this annoying page launch every single time. Thank you!

Can someone fix this issue already? Very simple issue to fix. Come on now folks, let's get rid of irritants.

Yeah, well, maybe an "Idea" to read the Forum Rules if you want some Help, for some missing Tech Info, this is a Technical Forum, I don't react otherwise... (+ Read my Sig...)
And I think "the" Solution has already been provided, if you search the Forum...
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
iMacros for Chrome 10.0.5

You got a link to this or better yet the solution? The forum has over 15 pages of topics....
Anybody else know what @chivracq is talking about?

Oh, good...!, I "nearly" wanted to ask yesterday if you were going to follow up, and that you didn't need 2 (or 3) days to read the Forum Rules...
Then, good, we have your FCI, even if you still missed the 'Free'/'PE' part
, but that shouldn't play a Role for your Case...
Yeah well, "15 pages of topics", that's the "Purpose" of using the 'Search' Functionality on a (Tech) Forum, ah-ah...!, and your "Issue" is related to CR, so that Thread should be located in the 'iMacros for CR' Sub-Forum... And even, simply scrolling through the Threads in the CR Sub-Forum should yield that Thread in the first 2 or 3 Pages, I would think, and then "hope" the User had given a Descriptive and Explanatory Title to their Thread...
(The Thread was from 6 months ago maybe, and @Tom from @TechSup had posted in it, I think I remember...)
But anyway, you have a Setting in CR about "Synchronizing Devices", and I would think you probably have a PC/Laptop/"Device" (different than the one you are trying to use currently), where some previous Version of iMacros for CR is installed, or maybe not installed at all, where you might want to switch off that 'Synchronize' Setting..., or "play" with that Setting as I think your Issue is possibly/probably related to it...
(And now you can also use "Synchronize/ing" as Search Keywords to search the Forum, if you want more Info, and want to locate the Thread I was referring to...
)

That's too much work. Why can't the coders remove those lines or the link from the file and release an update?
Yeah well, "too much work", typing 2 Words in a Search Box, and disabling/re-enabling some CR Setting, while you "sound" like you are pretty Technical yourself, if you managed to locate the "Source" of your Issue from inspecting the Source Code of the Add-on, which is quite Impressive actually (meant as a Compliment...! 
)...!? Hum, OK, fair enough... 
But tja...!, the "Purpose" of that Link/Page upon New/First Install of the Add-on is actually to provide some Help about how to use the Add-on, so it's by Design and I don't think @Dev will want to change that, and it's rather CR with its 'Synchronize' Setting (if I'm correct about it...) which is causing that annoying Behaviour for you... 
But OK, I'll "soft-alert" @TechSup to ask if they want to have a look at your Thread, they'll probably have more/better Info...
But if/once they respond, it would maybe "help a bit" if you could follow up a bit quicker than 4 or 5 days later each time...

Thank you for having them look at it, I will be here checking daily to rid of 4 to 5 day post gap. Also thanks for your compliment, I am not a coder or developer hence my nuisance. I got those lines after 2 hours of trial and error. I did find the sync thread you were talking about, and mentioned it being "too much work" after looking at the sync thread as honestly I had no idea what in the heck I was to do and it seemed easier to just close the tab every launch at that point.
Thanks for helping. Appreciated pal
