Just popped in for a look about and a catch up and found a rather confusing new feature /deterent and wondered if it is as it should be? In that as I scroll through various threads not only am I offered encounters with women of dubious age in large boxes to the right and top/bottom of pages but now odd words in peoples indvidual posts are highlighted in green and underlined just like when cleverer people than me do a linky hidden behind the word rather than the full address, lo and behold its yet another advert box and not a link relating to the persons post at all, is this how it is supposed to appear?

Dunno, I'm on tapatalk so no ads. Banner ad content is usually tailored to your previous browsing history across multiple sites.

nudge, nudge, wink, wink etc.

Ahem, checked browsing history clear conscience there it was more a question about the misleading highlighted words in peoples text content of the post, returning to the thread the words "women" in my OP and "browsing" in yours mountainm are now underlined and green? anyone know if I can filter this out please?

I can understand that being annoying thankfully none of it appearing for me, no idea why.

Tone mentioned he was playing with that skimlink thing, perhapse its that, before the links were the same colour as normla user inserted links which was very annoying, I hate it when you hate to click through five different sites to hit the one the poster acctually inserted, ruins the experience.

Do you see this when you're logged in or when you browse to the site and you're not logged in. There's more advertising seen by visitors than members, you guys should see hardly any if you're logged in.

I saw it whilst logged in Tony, but ive not seen any since last evening, if i see it again, i'll take a screen shot for you.

I'm running Google Chrome with Ad blocker so I've never seen any

Aha, the logging in bit seems to be the key, members posts are back to normal and the banners and boxes to the right have gone.

Google Chrome about to be down-loaded......cheers Shewie

It takes a while to get used to it but it's a much better interface than IE
