    Its a bit off topic to help you here, there's probably a forum where you can post for technical questions.

    No one could really know that. Try a different internet browser see if the problem persists. Or, alternatively post what browser you are using. Or check your add ons/extensions for whatever browser you are using. If you are using IE, its a great browser to download other browsers.

    I know what you're talking about actually, I get the same thing. Certain words are highlighted and link to ads. I think Duggys Housemate has identified the problem there in a previous post.

    No worries. I wouldn't even know how to set up spam links tbh.

    No harm done.

    Just thought it up at the time of signing. Was surprised it wasn't taken.

    Also, as well as being a perfectly reasonable name my username is an action.

    I'm actually quite good at throwing stones too come to think of it.

    And you linked "stones" to what exactly, as others linked "music" to what exactly, when the hell did I need these words to be highlighted to me on a forum, expressing a point of view, you may as well drop a can of pepsi in to my post.

    A) I never agreed to advertise particular words within my posts, so stop actually highlighting them

    B) If I choose to make certain words a link it would actually be considered a spam, so as that's against your rules, stop doing it

    C) You basically don't have the right too legally or otherwise to advertise off my posts, so stop doing it. I own the copyright to what I write, you don't, abit of a cheek on boards.ie part, giving out about copywrite infringment by Sherlock, and allowing this to happen.


    You crazy bastard.

    I joined boards to ask a question relating to buying a router off Komplett if I remember correctly. Thus "buyer" your guess is as good as mine why I chose 95.

    I bought the router, got hooked on boards, and the rest as they say, is history
