Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Dropdown Links(?)
First off I'm not even sure if that's what these are called.
Second, if this has already been discussed I apologize. I tried looking around a bit but who knows.
Only recently I have noticed certain words in threads (including reply's) that are bringing up ads or links for other things.
Is this new?
It seems as though many are not even advertisements as the links do not lead to anything for sale. I have seen those as well though.
Here is a screen shot of what I'm talking about...
I'm also NOT to good on a computer so could this be something on my end? Pop up blocker no longer working?

Note: You have to hold the mouse over the word so it's not like it's a problem or anything,
I was more just wondering out of curiosity.
Above, I was holding my cursor over the word "diabetes"

Sounds to me that you've got spyware on your PC.

After doing a quick google search, I've found out I would have liked it better if you two would have just lied to me!
What a way to ruin my day, brand new computers with anti virus...and now this. Ugh!
Thanks alot for clearing that up and Vanessa thanks alot for the link! Not sure exactly what to do but I've already began adding a few of those anti apyware's and running some scans.
*I wonder who all is watching me write this! *

Wouldn't you know it!...no more link!
A BIG thank you to you Vanessa, I literally never would have even came close to figuring that out.
I must ask though, did you just have that like sitting around? Or did you find it in a google search? I usually use google for anything and everything, but when it comes to something tedious, link after link, downloading, installing, and running cleaner programs...I just don't even try.
Thanks again, I feel a bit better for the time being, we'll see what happens from here.

Lol, no problem, glad to help! I just did a search on google for "hyperlinked texts turning into ads" or something like that and searched through a few options until I felt there was enough information present at one place to help you out.
If you haven't used Firefox NoScript before, I highly recommend it! I haven't used antivirus software in years because NoScript by default shuts all scripts off; you have to literally teach it what is safe and what is not. It takes a little bit of time to teach it, but well worth it in the long run! It's completely free and runs in the background for Firefox.

Wow! Sounds confusing!!
I'm going to check it out though, we got two new computers recently so I'll throw it on one until I get it figured out.
I appreciate you taking the time to search.
Thanks again for everything.
