celtish Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have noticed of late that certain words in posts are double-underlined and that hovering over them triggers a floating box containing inane information from an outfit called 'vibrant'.Do these have to be there?? They are very annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idontwantspam Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Huh? I haven't seen this. Unless maybe it's some kind of advertising... I don't even remember - does MSFN have advertising? Ever since I installed AdBlock Plus, I don't ever see ads any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando569 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 its probably spyware, ive never seen it either. run cws shredder or some other anti-spyware program to see if it disappears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 It's not malware of any kind, no need to worry there.Vibrant is a form of advertisement that helps MSFN. This is a free site and those advertisements help fund MSFN and keep this wonderful site going.For AdBlock Plus users, show your support and right click on AdBlock Plus and click Disable on www.msfn.org. Remember, by blocking the advertisements on MSFN, you're also blocking funds that help keep MSFN going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 You are not supposed to see Vibrant ads once loged in. Vibrant ads are enabled only for guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celtish Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks, guys. These ads are still irritating but at least I now know what they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin L Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks, guys. These ads are still irritating but at least I now know what they are!now i am confused... do you see those ads on the frontpage, or on the forums? When you are logged in you are NOT supposed to see them on the forums, but on the frontpage everybody will see them (yes we as admins too ) let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celtish Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 You're right. I see the logic of it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstorm Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Can we kill the popup on the front page as well for the people who are logged in?It is VERY annoying when I'm trying to read something and this popup keeps showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin L Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The popup?? you mean the little screen which comes up once you hover over an orange word? The only solution i have for that at this moment is to not touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
