Admins.....seeing some unrequested links in comment text
Monday, May 9, 2005 by Corky_O | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
To any admins available,
I left a comment here Link, and after submitting it - I found that some of the words "computer" and three others were in green with double-underlines and seem to be linked to outside the WC site.
Please clarify (if they are still there), just left a comment, and ta-daa - instant links.
Script issues? Highjacked HTML?
A bit strange to say the least.
I swear it was not me.

I thought it was just me, or else WC had started uisng paid links. I've seen a few other sites using that kind of ad. Not as bad as a pop-up, but still annoying when you're trying to read something.

Those little "unrequested links" are all over in the news sections. Quite annoying.

Wierd, the words "p0p-up" (intentionally mis-spelled) in my previous post shows as a paid link for stopzilla when fiewing in FF. I switch to IE and don't see it.
If kona can see them then I know it can't be a FF only issue.

The links you are seeing our paid advertisements. Normally subscribers should not see them but due to some problems today I have WinCustomize running off of a secondary server running using slighty outdated code. I was not able to get everything updated today so that is why you are seeing those links. It will be cleared up tomorrow.

I trust it's just a weird blip in the system...please don't let intellitext take over these forums...it's highly annoying. I post a lot at Rotten Tomatoes, and once IGN took over and started using intellitext, I've hated it. Hated it, hated it, hated it.
