Links in ads
As an example, reference 7 July post by 68 cutty for 68 cutlass parts. Click on the link tail light housing. An EBay ad pops up for 68 Dodge Coronet tail light housing. WTF ? Is Classic Olds being hacked by EBay, NSA, or the Chinese?

These links are automatically placed in all posts by Internet Brands, the owner of this and many other internet fora.

Eric,
Interesting that CO does not own the forum. I often wondered who the genius was who wrote all of that nice interactive software. I naively assumed that it was some geek member of the CO staff. Now I know.

I'll pass your complaint about the pop-up link ads to the IB folks, maybe they'll turn them off for us. One can hope, anyway.

Update:
Just found out those link-popup ads should ONLY display for not-logged in, or unregistered users. Were you logged in when you got them?

On the iPad, the bottom right corner of a page has the visual appearance of a piece of paper with the corner bent leaving a triangle. If your finger happens to touch that triangle when you are scrolling , it "tears" away what you were reading and brings up an advertisement.
I've previously posted pics that show advertising over the top of people's signature pics.
I don't see IB doing anything about it. That's how they make their money.
I hate that this site is owned by big brother.

Cast stones all you like, but I feel that's a better response than "too bad get over it" which is what some large forum consolidators have said about pop up ads. IB is not one of them.
Please stand by for a fix. I will re-open this thread for feedback once they tell me they think they have it taken care of.
