Multiple hotlinks in forums?
Greetings -
I have noticed that there are now multiple green colored words as "hotlinks" for advertisers (i.e. Facebook, flashwave, etc...). They are targeting words such as "photos", "front", "rear", "pics" etc
...even hovering over these words now shows ads and it is very aggravating.
Is this now a necessary evil for the forums?
Thanks for allowing the vent.

1) Are you logged in or logged out when this occurs?
2) Are you sure your system is clean?
Such advertising may occur for Guests (not logged in). If showing up for logged in users, it may be a mistake. However, no others have reported this issue. Because of that, and because malware can also do what you describe, you should make sure your system is clean.
