Title: IS this happening to anyone else?
Post by: mcmich on May 15, 2012, 11:24:13 pm: I noticed about 2 days ago that most of the posts have a a word or two underlined.
Every time the mouse goes over these under lined words an add pops up for ipads or iphones.
It's very annoying and wondered if anyone else is experiencing the same?

Post by: judydawn on May 15, 2012, 11:32:51 pm: They must be targetting just a few special people Michele, just ignore it and it might go away. Certainly nothing I've done :-*

Post by: Wonder on May 16, 2012, 12:01:53 am: I'm not experiencing that Michelle, maybe it's a combination of your browser and some form of advertising on the forum

Post by: Cuilidh on May 16, 2012, 12:02:02 am: I'm on a PC and none of this is happening to me (... yet?). Is it just those members who have iPhones / iPads, etc?

I am using Firefox

Post by: Merlin on May 16, 2012, 12:20:55 am: I'm not getting the underline thing happening -only the usual ads when you load the homepage of the forum.

Post by: dede on May 16, 2012, 04:00:57 am: I haven't noticed it, but I'm on my iPad most of the time using tapatalk. What a pain that would be.

Post by: achookwoman on May 16, 2012, 05:50:15 am: Michelle, I think they want you to buy an I Pad. Hate this push advertising. Intrusive.

Post by: mcmich on May 16, 2012, 05:55:28 am: They quite possibly do Chookie. I don't have anything technical other than the thermomix.
I could probably do without my old Nokia mobile too. No one ever calls me because I very rarely have it with me.
It must be my server because it is coming upon other sites too.

Post by: bickie on May 16, 2012, 07:34:34 am: Michelle if you go to your preferences on your PC you should be able to block pop up advertising. I am a mac girl so not to sure on a PC which tab it is under - but it shouldn't be difficult. If you google 'block ads on a PC' some kind soul out there will already have posted an answer in cyberspace.

Post by: mcmich on May 16, 2012, 03:45:09 pm: Thanks everyone. Looks like it must be me. Don't know how to do blocks Bickie - I'm going to ignore it and hope it goes away.
