dramaartwriting Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 The browser I have has been showing certain words in the text, the text was intended by the site but the links are something automatic that was not, that everywhere the words appear they have a double underlined link that is not intended by the site creators. What is the source of my problem and how do I fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted June 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 11, 2005 It's one type of ad that's shown on Neowin and various other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramaartwriting Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Surprisingly enough I don't remember how to take a screenshot. But I can describe... example... on the word "Computer" in Sony Computer on the home page of this site it has a window appear when you hover the mouse over it that says some Dell Computer ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted June 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 11, 2005 It's double green underlined and it's like an alt window that the ad is in, I'm def not going to click it, but I didn't see it when I first went to the page so I doubt it was intentional. 586048270[/snapback] No, it was definitely intentional... You know how the ads change every time you refresh the page? Well this is just another ad that comes up randomly like the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ventrox Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 you take a screenshot by clicking "PrtSc" on your keyboard then paste it in for example "Paint" would be good to see how it looks like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramaartwriting Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 This computer and connection isn't giving me exactly the easiest time. Trying third or fourth attempt at attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramaartwriting Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 It would seem very unconventional for sites to sponsor several different seemingly random businesses from links to word or words in the text of their articles themselves. I would think they would keep the ads on the side and popups and banners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramaartwriting Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 frustrating. I guess I lost my audience while I had the computer trouble getting the pic up. Please reply if you see this with your ideas thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 the website creators add them edit: and if you use Safari you wont see them :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted June 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 11, 2005 Will you not listen to me? Seriously, this issue was asked about a LONG time ago here on Neowin and it was answered. It's a new type of ad that they have on here and it's on some other sites as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhav Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 they're standard ads. nothing to worry about. just to help neowin survive. and they're not unconventional. they're very common now, especially since most people block popups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
