What's the story with all the underlined words that lead to ads? Are we supposed to click them like the ads in the old forums to get the site support?
The new site is currently add-free. Underlined Words like these are often links that the poster has put in on purpose to show you something on another page. If someone is posting large ammounts of commerical information (spam) please let us know.
Yeah that's what I thought... http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6350 Check out this thread in old crones forum...the word reading is underlined in orange and contains something about hooked on phonics when you click on it...curiouser and curiouser...I found several other instances of the same thing with different words last night as well.
This link is NOT being provided by the forums... Sounds like you have some ad-ware running on your computer..from the sounds of it it may be 'COMET CURSOR'. See http://www.pchell.com/support/cometcursor.shtml for some information. You can also try to use some as/spyware removal software to clean up your PC. As for FREE removal tools, I recomend Adaware by Lavasoft. See http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ for details.
Man, that is wrong...how can people justify doing that?? I think it's time to hook the laptop up to the internet anyway and retire the old desk top junker...my mission for the day. ...I have no patience for this crap. Thanks for the info, that's good to know in case it happens again.
