I can't think of a worse thing to have... it's so intrusive... you sometimes think links are real links only to find it's an ad - it's like product placement in films imho, it spoils the atmosphere of what you're there to enjoy

Would you prefer Penis enlargement ads?

hehehehe.....

It displays the MsgPlus ad when it doesnt have targeted ads.

And yes it is aginst there tos to tell people to click, Thats why I worded it very carefully.

Yeh thats true it is anoying :)

But for now when you press the link if you press shift it opens in a new window (Atleast it does in IE). So i guess people can do that in the meantime:)

If you ever add the text hilighting feature, your post would probably indeed be linked to a penis enlargement site in the format above :P

wj you might want to setup the filters on it, i know you can because i looked into it and watched the Corp Video on it. Anyway you can filter out websites such as VBulliten Board that have been comming up on the adverts, You can set filters to stop it doing that so your competition isnt shown on your site. Anway just thourght you might want to try it:)
