The Morningstarr*

What has happened please? Is it just me? Are those ad's REALLY aimed at me?

"Find your lovebuddy here."

"Free porn - you must pay on every other site."

"Special f*ck buddies here."

What's going on? Suddenly the forum is awash (awash I tell you!) with green links. Under usernames, at the top of this page it says 'post NEW (in green) thread' and if you hover over the green word, it says "live pornstar TV - KSEX."

The log out icon is green, there are green links all over the place.

Is this a new thing? Or have you decided that I need perking up a bit?

I mean, don't get me wrong, a bit of perking up never did anyone any harm, but I feel deluged with offers of rude things.

I saw it yesterday for the first time. I'm sure it wasn't there a week ago. Is Mr Morningstarr* selling his body again? Is Alpha taking up teaching 'those' classes again? Is SFB doing some undercover work? Is Ck trying to enlarge my ... knowledge?

Please, please ... tell me it is not only me seeing this.

Errr,

They're not supposed to be advertising porn.

Alpha, in all seriousness, I'm not messing around, it is all porn. Every link is porn. I'm not particularly offended or anything, I was just a bit surprised and wondered if there was something wrong with my computer in some way - I don't know, maybe some sort of virus or something.

None on my screen, but I find it amusing that in Spain, anything naughty described as being 'Blue' in English, is Green in Spanish.

Well, i can see them too, but they're not suposed to be advertising porn. They 're actually being sorted out

It's funny, isn't it? 'Blau' (blue) is the German word for someone who is drunk too!

I've never trawled porn sites (honest!) and so it's not that my computer is trying to load sites of 'specific interest' or anything!

Oh, thank goodness you said that. I was just sitting here going red at my computer thinking that everyone would assume I regularly trawled porn sites!

Porn on mine too

OK, I've removed the ad code so they should all disappear now.

Firstly, there was never meant to be any porn adverts whatsoever. There appears to have been a bungle made in the account details.

Secondly, by the sounds of it the ads are too intrusive anyway so I think it's probably best to scrap the idea for now.

It's been difficult to monitor the "in-line" ads because they don't work in all browsers. I don't see them ever, and I think they only work in certain versions of FireFox. The code was installed months ago and never did anything, so the most interesting thing about this is our number of visitors a day must have grown into a more desirable figure to advertise to. Even people advertising for a "munch buddy" have standards!

Oh, ok. Thanks to Mr Morningstarr* and Alpha for the clarification.

I was just getting paranoid here wondering which sites my husband might have been looking at while I was in bed!

Thanks again.
