   Wow weird that I've never seen that before... it seems to happen in IE10 as well.

   I'll look into this, but since it looks like your site is live, I think the best solution would be to just disable the hash tags by setting the hashTags option to false.

   It looks like it's an IE bug that only occurs when there is embedded flash video on the page (ref).

   The only solution, for now, is to set the page title after the page loads:

   $(window).load(function(){
     setTimeout(function() {
       window.document.title = "Some title";
     }, 1000);
   });

   Darn! I wonder if their is a way to capture the title tag from the head and have it rewrite once the anythingSlider has been created. Also, one click, it runs a function that established the title tag once again to prevent the hashtag appended text from changing the title within IE.

   Thanks for the advice, I actually found the same article yesterday but wanted to hear from your end before I implemented it.

   Thanks!
