Off Topic, But need to know...
Am I the only one who has these up pop-up ads? When my cursor rolls over certain words that are underlined, like a hyperlink, then a bogus crap pop up add appears? This has been happening only recently. Is it adware, or do some of you other guys have it too. See picture below please.

well according to a little research those words that are underlined are from Vibratn Intellitxt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IntelliTXT
according to a few pages i have read and this wiki page that hdf or the mother company had to add this type of advertising. many people dont like this as you try and scroll down the screen and your mouse, by chance, goes over one of these words it will display the add and inhibit your use of the forum or webpage.
i dont really like this, at all really. but i cleared by cookies and what not and it seems to be gone, for now. but i think if this is something new to HDF, it was a poor choice of advertising
