NoScript conflicts with Upromise
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2012 1:06 am
I'm a member of a program called Upromise. Basically, when you shop online at certain websites, they donate a small percentage of your purchase to a designated child's college fund. (In my case, my nieces and nephews.)
Normally, to make this work, you have to start at the Upromise.com website and click through from there to the store website. This ensures that the store website is notified of your Upromise account information. You see a loading page with the Upromise logo, and then it continues on to the store website.
To make things easier, though, there's a browser addon called Turbosaver. It's a toolbar which detects when you're visiting one of the participating sites and basically redirects you through the Upromise website.
The problem I'm having is that NoScript seems to conflict with both methods. With NoScript enabled, I often get stuck on the loading page. I see the logo and the notification that I'll be redirected to the store's website, but it doesn't happen. Reloading the page or trying again doesn't work. With TurboSaver enabled, basically the same thing happens. NoScript also seems to interfere with Upromise's internal site search.
I'm not sure what's wrong. I've enabled all scripts on the Upromise homepage and whatever I see on the redirect page. Is there a way there could be a hidden script that NoScript is blocking without my seeing it happen? Any idea on how to fix it?
Thanks.
