What the hells up with all the stupid links everywhere. Anyone got an offical answer?

Ahtlon 64 Brother Abit Asus email address LAN NIC WD Raptor PC 3200

So far I have seen all of those have links. It doesnt appear to link the same ones all the time.

My PC:
Abit AX8 Socket 939 VIA K8T890
AMD Athlon 64 3200 Winchester
Sapphire Radeon X700 Pro 256 Mb PCIe
WD Raptor 37 Gb SATA
Corsair 2x512 PC3200 DDR Dual-Channel Platnium Edition

Probably someone screwed up when changing something on the website.. I can't believe they'll leave it like this.. I've already clicked on 3 of the links because of the popup thing they do.

I wish it was customisable in that I could have double green underlined links spread sporadically throughout my diatribes so that words like shite, balls, cocks, focks, boobs, etc. would have little pop-up screen shots of those items thus enhancing the viewing experience - imagine Wingy's gongad puss! :lol:

In the other thread there is a solution for firefox users.

For IE users perhaps editting the HOSTs file to direct *intellitxt.com to nothing might work?

I still see nothing unusual ... so I still have no idea what this issue is about ... I do, however, have a 349KB Hosts file which blocks/redirects a lot of stuff ...

This a custom one you downloaded? There probably will be an entry with "intellitxt.com" somewhere.

Yea ... it's a combination of Spybots hosts list plus MVPS hosts file ... plus some stuff I add as it pis<b></b>ses me off ... like that banner ad at the top that was always problematic ... now it doesn't exist on my PC ...

Yeah I'm getting the same thing, wonder how bad this will affect us all when the forum slows to a crawl like its done in the past, its bound to make things worse!

That is what I was trying to tell Ned before ... thanks for finding the link and confirming a HOSTS file will do it ...

Amending that hosts file with mine seems to work.

This is the utility I use for creating/appending sh|t to my hosts file ... it works great: <A HREF="http://www.funkytoad.com/hoster.htm" target="_new">Hoster v1.7.2</A> ... I add (append) Spybot S&D hosts file list to MVPS using Hoster and I never get all this crap ...
