By Keyword, I mean the words in green that make a window pop up.
IS THERE anyway to disable this feature? I KNOW it's "Advertising" but crap, when the word "Mom's" comes up as an auto add, that's BS,,,,

When it opens click on the upper right corner and it will tell you how to disable.

Well, every link I clicked on for this "vibrant media" my security software gave me a "WARNING" do not enter this site!
So I read more about it on wikipedia...
I think we should ALL turn this off, it's more than likely the reason this sight bogs down and runs so slow on a little older computer. (I HATE getting on here with my laptop... it locks up and scrolls very jerkily while I am scrolling down to reply to a post)

IntelliTXT
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Example of an intellitext ad
The IntelliTXT Logo.

IntelliTXT is an advertisement platform developed by Vibrant Media, and is an example of keyword advertising. Website authors insert a script into their pages which calls the IntelliTXT platform when a viewer views the page; this script then finds keywords on the page and double underlines them. When holding the mouse over the double underlined link, an advertisement associated with that word will pop up. Advertisers pay to have their ads associated with particular words. "Context" is considered in an attempt to make the ads relevant to the web page hosting IntelliTXT.

The liability of this feature is that it makes pages more difficult to read; scrolling down the page may inadvertently cause delays while random ads flash on and pause before disappearing.

Publishers choose to run IntelliTXT advertising campaigns on their websites to generate advertising revenue. Some publishers choose to offer a help link inside the IntelliTXT ad box that leads to a page that offers to let you turn off IntelliTXT. Note that deactivation requires the use of HTTP cookie technology. If a user deletes or refreshes their cookies the service will be re-activated automatically and ads will continue to appear on the page. Since the cookie is stored by publisher, it also means that turning off the feature for one publisher has no effect on the other publishers that use these popups.

I disabled mine by adding a list of sites to my "host" file.

I haven't had any green words for several months now.
