Underlined Adverts?

[Got a Pulsar]

Greetings.

Today I've been noticing alot of Adverts poping up if you wave the cursor over Underlined Text.

Maybe only on certain keywords? Sort of a bit like links but you don't have to click it for it to come up.

For example : in the thread below, the words "bonus" and "an email" do it.

Edit* "an email" stopped doing it and now "financial year" does it.

Edit** "financial year" just stopped doing it!!!

Just wondering if it's a new thing or is it a Bug / Hack...

Cheers.

Rob.

Ah Rob, doesnt happen at all to me. None of the 3 words you mention or the ones that are purposely links do it.

I'm using IE9 on default settings.

What browser, version and settings are you running mate ?

Edit: and what's your OS ?

[Got a Pulsar]

Yeah it's weird, the words chop and change. They are underlined like a link when it happens.

I've even noticed it on some other words on any page as in, "members" in the bottom left of screen next to guests and anonymous users, was doing it for a while.

I'm running Windows XP Pro and IE8. I just reset the default settings on IE8, see if it changes anything.

It'll be a local issue, you've installed an add-on or something that is causing it.

No issues here, and it's not something SAU is employing far as i know (the sponsored word ads etc).

Change browser, if the problem goes away then 100% your end

[CLNSKY]

Scan for malware to be honest. I see this very often at work and clients. As R31Nismoid said, its a local issue, give it a scan with spyware search and destroy or malware bytes should fix it

[R31Nismoid]

Ok its happening to me but ONLY after i leave a page idle for about 10-15 seconds... Weird.

I'll get C to have a look

[Got a Pulsar]

I reset IE defaults and ran my old Pal Malwarebytes. It hasn't happened again yet...

I didn't actually notice if there was a timeframe before it happened. Nice to Know it can happen to others though.

[R31Nismoid]

Christian is onto it, looks like it's not SAU's doing... Will update once it's resolved.

[R31Nismoid]

Ok so i found mine.

It was a Firefox Add-on called "save.it" or something similar. I just removed, reloaded browser and all good.

Odd that it only just started occurring though

[Cowboy1600]

You still use Burning Dog? Dude! Chrome is where it's at

I used to be an FF fanboi, but have moved to Chrome and it pisses on FF.

Anywho, back to normal programming.

[PranK]

So, no further occurrences of this?

[R31Nismoid]

I disabled the mysterious Firefox add-on, and my problems disappeared

[Got a Pulsar]

So, no further occurrences of this?

Not as yet Mr Boss Man.

ps. Christian, did you ever look into the birthday list thing? as in, Showing all B'days and not just a few?

[PranK]

Yeah, just had a little look. Seems as though there is supposed to be a link below the members names with a 'View all birthdays' text which is just not displaying for some reason.

If you view the source of the page, you can see the link.

Will try to sort it out tonight.

Don't Spose there is any progress on the "View all Birthdays" thing yet Christian?

(My Birthday again today... Not Feelin' the SAU Love.) I guess I'm just not Random enough to make the front page.

[PranK]

Argh! SOrry mate!

And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Will hopefully have it done by next birthday. I don't think mine displays either.

[Got a Pulsar]

No worries my good man.

and Thanx for the B'day Happies.

approx 358 days to the next one...
