Guess the CF page comes back with a bit of HTML code that calls the google ad and if your browser okay's it, it displays. If not you don't see it.
Like I said, I don't mind it being there and in the future it may get smart enough to have good target links.

As to references to eBay or links to eBay posted by Forum members, I think there may be some confusion on that issue as well. I had a PM conversation with Dave about it and maybe he's shared that with you.
If not, the reason for not allowing eBay links is because our experience is that it ticks off Forum members when somebody posts a For Sale thread here and uses it to link to their eBay auction on the same item.
The complaints I've heard are that if you want to sell something on the Forum fine, if you want to sell something on eBay fine, but don't put the sale up both places and put Forum members in competition with eBay bidders for your sale item.
We don't prohibit the posting of eBay links when somebody spots something funny or interesting or weird or fishy there -- just not an eBay link posted for the purpose of selling something or promoting the sale of something.

Thanks for the clarification!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Please google ads to keep their ads car related, most of us on the C1/C2 area are old farts and don't want our car site trying to sell us Viagra!!!!

If you have javascript on, you get the add. If it is off, you don't. I never logon to google, just searches. My work PC does not even have the google toolbar in IE but does have javascript configured.
Suspect the cat licked the page and removed the add.

There are very few of us who like the one-post newbie who advertises his prized part here, only to really have a link to his eBay auction, where he sells it out from under us, or vice versa. I think most agree, either sell here, or eBay, but don't mix them.

My guess is it has to do with whether your browser is configured to run javascript or not. The HTML source code from CF does this:
"script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"
If you have javascript on, you get the add. If it is off, you don't. I never logon to google, just searches. My work PC does not even have the google toolbar in IE but does have javascript configured.

I have no google account, but the add shows up with my (updated) IE browser (and not the firefox browser).
I need the java that cat is drinking...
Thanks for the laugh!

Don't have a Google account, never had one, no Google toolbar and I use Yahoo to get to the forum.

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - scroll down to scroll down to Microsoft VM. If JIT compiler is checked, that likely causes it, probably best to uncheck the other two Java items there also to turn it off. If you see a Java (Sun) above the Microsoft VM, uncheck it as well.
FireFox - Tools - Options - Content - Select / unselect Enable Javascript, probably also a good idea to set Enable Java the same.
