They're just content-relevant (sort of) ads. The links should pop up an add for a product or service related to the highlighted keyword. Apart from full-page ads, they're about as intrusive as an ad can get.

Some Forums - TSG for example - allow blocking of adverts by donation - others, like Tom's depend on advertising to keep the site running. The AdBlock add-on for Firefox deals effectively with them but curiously, I don't see them in Opera either.

So how do they get there? Is it something THGC is allowing or is it an outside party out of control?


It's just part of the advertising done here. THG obviously has to subscribe to the service.

The blue words and ads only really bother me on the netbook



Sorry about the blue but when I write in pale grey as I am now, my eyesight is so poor that I won't pick up all my typos (and I make quite a few) until I post it and can see it in bold, Royal blue and that's also why I edit so many posts as soon as I posted them :(

I was joking about your blue text, I did realise you were using all blue but as we were talking about the random blue words it seemed funny that your whole post was blue.

The annoyance with the blue advert words on the netbook is because they slow everything down. :fou: 

You carry on with your blue revolution. [:bohleyk:1]

I guessed that.

I just don't see those and it must be AdBlock that blocks them. I'm using Opera in this system but Firefox behaves as well. I have adverts showing in Safari on the dreaded Powerbook but I'll tame that sooner or later.
