lardiop Veteran Posted December 22, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2003 Has anyone else been seriously po'ed by IntelliTXT? :angry: You can see it in use on sites like W2S and TechConnect. It takes "Keywords" from an article you are reading, and turns them into a hyperlink, linking that word to an advertiser. I know you can turn it off on most pages, but I still think its a backwards attempt at getting your attention :crazy: See attached screenie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noir Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Nothing new really, Neowin also have them. I prefer these textlinks to tons of annoying banners and popups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToastGodSupreme Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Now this is nothing against Neowin, or it's policies, but: HOW TO STOP IT: Add "127.0.0.1 itxt.vibrantmedia.com" to your hosts file. Looks like I need to make another donation though, since it's been a while since my last. ;) Donate is in the upper-right corner: https://www.neowin.net/aboutus.php Please don't ask me why that doesn't work for you. Any problems with your hosts file can be taken care of here: http://www.smartin-designs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
