Hi guys, 
While by connecting Google and Twitter I'm perfectly redirected to the page set into "Configuration > General - Login / Logout > Returning User Redirection: ..."
When using Facebook an awful unwanted /#_=_  is added
When using Instagram an awful unwanted /#_  is added

- Facebook > mysite.com/#_=_
- Google > mysite.com/
- Instagram > mysite.com/#_
- Twitter > mysite.com/

Why ? Am I missing anything ? Please, Can you confirm and fix it ?

We can not fix that #_=_ in the URL. That is added by Facebook & Instagram. My understanding is that their Javascript code can look at the anchor reference (the #.... in the URL) and do 'something' with it. What that is is unknown to me.

To note though, the anchor portion of a URL should not be used by search engines, analytics or just about any other software. The anchor portion of a URL is for browser handling only. So, while it looks ugly, it shouldn't affect the page at all.

Thanks,
Alex
