Pop ups

[WindyParticipant @windy30762]

In the last few days when reading the various posts a highlighted word that seems like a link is a pop up with nothing to do with the subject being discussed.

Example scratchcards to name one.

The pop up blocker does no good is there a simple solution to stop them.

My post about popups had two blue underlined words that had pop ups I turned the forum off then switched it on again and the words were normal.

It has done this on other threads it is an anoyance.

This happens all the time on Chester's forum but I've never seen it on here.

I've not seen them here but like Roy says Chesters is full of them, think they are called "Infolinks"

Hmmm

I've had a look at the Chester site and I see what you mean. Agree with the others i've not seen them here. Maybe clear your PC's cache ?

Hi There

I seem to get this with Internet Explorer all the time.

I used to use adaware to remove rubbish like this but since it know does not like Norton.

Hi,

The solution is local so you need to follow Michael's first link to Adblock and install as an extension. I have Adblock 2.12 on FireFox and this cured the problem.

David, apparently you can block 'Infolinks' on IE without any extension or add-on. Go to Michael's first link and scroll down to the instructions for IE.

Regards
