IS this happening to anyone else?
« on: May 15, 2012, 11:24:13 pm »
I noticed about 2 days ago that most of the posts have a a word or two underlined.
Every time the mouse goes over these under lined words an add pops up for ipads or iphones.
It's very annoying and wondered if anyone else is experiencing the same?

I haven't noticed lately Michele but it was happening a lot a while back.  Some form of advertising agreement the owners of this forum have I daresay.

They must be targetting just a few special people Michele, just ignore it and it might go away.  Certainly nothing I've done  :-*

I'm not experiencing that Michelle, maybe it's a combination of your browser and some form of advertising on the forum

I'm on a PC and none of this is happening to me (... yet?).  Is it just those members who have iPhones / iPads, etc?

No it is not happening to my IPad, but adds are annoying.

No not happening to me, no adds, no underlines either.

I'm not getting the underline thing happening -only the usual ads when you load the homepage of the forum.

I haven't noticed it, but I'm on my iPad most of the time using tapatalk. What a pain that would be.

Michelle,  I think they want you to buy an I Pad.   Hate this push advertising.  Intrusive.

They quite possibly do Chookie. I don't have anything technical other than the thermomix.
I could probably do without my old Nokia mobile too. No one ever calls me because I very rarely have it with me.
It must be my server because it is coming upon other sites too.
