Scripts and cookies required to access MR

[VulchR]

I logged on a few days ago and the menu that indicates when one has been quoted appeared to be missing. I couldn't figure out why, and then I noticed through NoScript that I had to enable scripting through ajax.googleapis.com, which appears to have been a change within the last few weeks. I'd just like to feedback to those in charge of MR that I am not particularly happy being tracked by Google. Indeed, this is one the reasons I prefer iOS than Android (just a personal opinion, let us not debate about it).

Anybody else have an opinion?

We changed it because Google does a better job keeping their javascript libraries up to date than vBulletin. There was an exploit a while ago that used an outdated YUI javascript pacakge in vBulletin.

This didn't affect us, since we were on a different version, but it seemed prudent to link to Google's YUI, so we could keep up. We could link to Yahoo's. Eitherway, it seems like it's a static resources that's not setting cookies and tracking you (at the moment).

Thank you for the clarification.
