Default whatswith the pop ups?

I have a pop up blocker on my pc but now there are alot of underlined words on the board, like pregnancy and baby and if you click on them they open up links, is this only on my pc? we are running the latest norton.

Me too. Not sure what it is, but it surely is annoying.

It just looks like the website is allowing advertising in different ways. I 've also noticed that sometimes when I click on a thread, to read it, an ad for hp printers shows up. Then I have to click "skip ad" to actually get to the thread. Just a new way to advertise I guess. Along with the highlighted words.

i haven't had many issues with the pop ups or "skip this ad", but the underlined words sure are annoying. you ladies are lucky i like you as much as i do, anyother site i would be done with it by now.

i'm getting it too... guess i'll go run spyware doctor... ad blockers wont work on this issue, you'll need some sort of spyware remover... http://www.kaspersky.com/trials is a good one for a free trial
