Question

I have a Video model. I am using link_to to link the a specifiic video. When I access the video page, Rails apprends to the URL weird anchors like this #.UBbC5zF2bZ8. I think it has something to do with my to_paramsmethod :

def to_param
  "#{id}-#{title.parameterize}"
end

And my link_to code :

= link_to image_tag(video.thumb, size:"260x145"), video_path(video)

This is unrelated to rails.

It’s a feature of a sharing/tracking plugin called AddThis.
