I have a blue double underline which links to various advertising. It seems only to occur on this board. Do I have a virus or is everyone getting this? Tell me this isn't some new revenue maker for AC.

I answered my own question by googling the answer. It is an ad put on by AC. That is SOOOOOOOOOO annoying!!!!! I installed add block plus on chrome and it eliminated the problem. Maybe Charlie should send out an email telling me why I need the embedded ads in my beloved user board next. Jon! Help!!!

Can you make a snippet or printscreen and upload it?

Tell me this isn't some new revenue maker for AC. It *may* be a "free" extension that you picked up that has a buried setting for ads. Found that in a chrome extension I had picked up for touch testing. Ad-Block is generally the first extension that I install.

Sorry, Bert. It is gone now that I installed Ad Block plus. Regular Ad block didn't do it. It was weird, though, that it showed up on my Ipad and my desktop but only on Amazing charts user board.

If it does it again, try switching from amazing-blue to Default Style and see if it goes away.

Do you still have AdBlock Plus turned on?

I found the answer here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/for...hich-links-to-monstermarketplacecom-etc/It is an embedded advertising program that got installed on my computer. I uninstalled it. Problem solved. Sorry to bother you all but someone else might run into the same problem.
