Am I the only one? It looks like avatars are attacking my screen when I look at all the forums. I know it sounds crazy since I've never seen this happen in any forum, but it's happening to me.

I just looked a little closer and it looks like ads are overtaking the forum in thumbnail form. I see an "In a Nutshell" and a "For Dummies" ad and some other stuff I can't recognize.

Ok just figured it out it looks like Amazon ads are eating the forum. I see "Womanizer".

Yeah, so do I.
Amazon link page appears on the left of the screen in every thread.
 
I've been watching the forum all day and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. Anybody else?
 
im seeing the amazon ads as well. could this be somebody hacking the forum and cookie stuffing it?
 
We are on it guys, thanks for the heads up.
 
Yeah, I see them too now. Hell.. maybe Dave's trying out new ways to monetize the forum. LOL
 
NO WAY! Whisker, did that shit come from outside? Who the fuck?
 
ff3 shows it here, shot some emails to dave, wait and see
 
I think it just started happening because right when I saw it I noticed this thread
 
I saw Dave was signed in a little bit before this happened, so I'm sure this is a case of throwing up ads and testing where they show up. It's happened to me before.
 
Yeah, same thing happening here.
Also, the home page hasn't been showing any threads or categories all day today.
 
I get the same thing. I think we're being attacked by replicators. lol
 
It is an affiliated amazon widget, and does seem to be part of the site itself.
Maybe a new way to generate income for the forum?
 
uuuuaaaahhh, its the AMAZON worm they have told us about already in 1997, finally coming to a forum near you :-)
 
whatever it is it sucks cant read the screen please get this sh#t the fu#k off here if anyone knows how
 
Only happens for me when I use firefox browser. Well, at least the firewall let me through from firefox- it blocked me all yesterday from firefox but IE7 was fine. Frankly, I have had on and off problems with viewing this forum's content in firefox since I joined. No biggie- I just use IE7 and haven't questioned it until I was actually blocked yesterday just on firefox.
 
Yes the same for me if using firefox its a mess but, on IE7 it is fine. What a pity I usually use firefox.
 
You're right. In IE7 it looks great. The problem is FireFox is basically the webmasters official browser nowadays.

I was against FireFox when it came out, but slowly I was lubed up and slipped into it.
 
Yeah, I was using Firefox, when the Amazon ads comes.
Thanks for the info.
 
IE7 works, but HELL, I dont want to use IE7, so can someone please get rid of that annoying amazon stuff, daaaaaaaaave!!!
