Ads when composing posts

Post by theholycow »

Does anyone get ads when clicking the Img button while creating a post? I get redirected to them, but luckily when I click "Back" the stuff I typed is still there. Once I even had it happen when I clicked in the text area.

It only happens on this site.

In an attempt to help support the forums I frequent, I have removed my ad blocking. That's why I started having this happen, I guess.

I don't have adblocking software, and I don't get that. Sounds like something sinister that installed itself outside of this site. Run a spyware/adware/malware scan on your computer.

:lol: I'm sure I don't have anything like that. It would affect other sites, at least other forums, or at the very least other phpBB forums. It would also involve a browser plugin, startup process, winsock stack modification, or something like that...

I have a new portable browser I'm using which I have not modified or cleaned up, in an attempt to get some experience living as the peasants do, and it would have to be in there if it was anything like that, but I have my doubts.

That's how I read it the first time.

In either case, I don't get it.

New to me...the latest version of Opera. I was using an older version, but what's really new to me is that I didn't apply my configuration changes or anything, just started fresh without even any bookmarks.
