Embedded ads in posts? Where's it going to stop?
Cars
Pickups Drive These words in other posts have mouse-over ads attached to them... Sad day indeed...

Either they're implemented by your ISP, or you have a program on your computer that's causing it (virus, stop downloading porn).
I don't see any such things. Edit; Download the Firefox web-browser, and get the pop-up blocker.

It's never going to stop.
They are putting ads on everything they possibly can. Pretty soon, you'll unwrap a condom and it'll flash "Don't forget the K-Y Lubricant! Buy it now at Rite-Aid!"

Also a sponsor of the site, it's really nice to pay a grand a year and then have you and your fellow board sponsors absolutely and completely buried under gazillions of other ads. I certainly can't see putting up the funds again when my ad runs out on here. Looks like the new owners are getting enough revenue for burying the entire page in ads without a need to promote a sense of community anymore. Feels like it's not a community, it's a commercial. |

...likewise, i've turned them off in my profile, yet they still show up on IE7 at work...honestly, they're a usability disaster and make navigating lotustalk a twitchy minefield of cursor placement - i deliberately avoid websites which use them...

I added the following filter to Firefox adblock pro and
 success:"http://autoforums.us.intellitxt.com/*" Quotes are present only to keep it from looking like a link in this post. Yeah adblock

On a more serious note I use a web browser called "Secure IE" and I don't have any problems with the ads.
