Have we been inflicted with advert software ? Getting lots of "keyword Highlighting" and boxes popping up everywhere!

Aye. Some words are double-underlined, and in green. Site is a touch slower.

Tried looking with AdblockPlus switched off and I get the Adbrite stuff, switched it back on and Adbrite all disappeared.

Gentlemen...and Baz.....I suspect this has something to do with the red ink at the top of the page. Steve,who owns the site, has been contacted so we must await his response.

Well I screwed that up didn't I
Google canceled the ads that we had with them due to 'illegal ad click activity' - that's all they would say so I had to find another ad service as we need the funds to pay for the server. Donations have dropped away over the last few months as more Scorps go to the big melting pot in the sky.
When I set up the account I inadvertently enabled 'in-line ads' which turned out to be those really nasty green underlined words.
Hopefully they have no gone for good and we should just have a simple banner ad at the bottom of the page.
I'm just trying to keep the site afloat without it costing me an arm and a leg.
