HurricaneJosh Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm getting this annoying thing, where certain words are green and double-underlined links, leading to rollover effects and ads. It is very annoying. Is this a problem with the forum or my browser settings? It just started today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 This is what I'm seeing. That sh*t needs to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm seeing it both in Chrome (on a PC laptop) and on Safari (on an iPad)-- so it's not a browser thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Now I'm not seeing it. Random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojitodd Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I saw it when I was reading some threads a few minutes ago, but in your last posts it is not showing up as you said...? And yeah, it was/is/whatever/ very annoying. It reads like the words are bolded or italicized or something so you read them that way giving weird emphasis to them and it does not make sense...you imagine the person speaking and giving emphasis to these random words! lol * ok I am seeing it in my post..and it is annoying. How does one make it stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm seeing it again-- including in sojitodd's post. The effect is really erratic and random. It does not appear consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sojitodd Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm seeing it again-- including in sojitodd's post. The effect is really erratic and random. It does not appear consistently. I came back here, and (naturally), it was all gone. Of course after I post this it will probably be showing up again. I was reading a thread in the OV/GL sections, and it showed up in just one post. What is it, some kind of poltergeist/El Chupacabra devil thing on the board? I hate it! *edit* 'course' had the double green underlining/linking whatever, but it will probably be gone after this edit. Why is it doing this?

catoctin wx Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Also just had this giant ad jump up accross my entire screen. I know I didn't donate to the board, but geez, I didn't think the ads would be this agressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what mine was too.The large ad at the bottom of each thread (above the quick reply) is rather obnoxious as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've fixed it. I have adjusting settings and some of this annoying things slip in as a default setting. They should be gone by now, if not very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be gone by now, if not very soon. Awesome! Great news. Thanks! I was worried it was some weird browser setting that would take all day to figure out-- or, worse, that it was something that couldn't be prevented.

I also can't type correctly this morning. You should not be seeing any ads at all as a donator, even the ad at the bottom of every thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not be seeing any ads at all as a donator, even the ad at the bottom of every thread. I'm still seeing that ad. It is very annoying, but I didn't want to push it. I was happy the green links are gone, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
