Um, no. As stated I'm trying to understand the how and why.

Did I not state exactly what behavior I was observing thereby giving
you complete "click at your own risk" warning?  And you're shocked
that you found that yes, it does exactly what I said it would do
because why?

Perhaps you misunderstood the title of the thread?

Initially when I clicked the website home page it didn't do it,
several times. I only observed it when going to the direct link for
the photo. I just now got it when clicking on the home page itself.
