OT: Hyperlinked words with ads

  • Some words on threads are being hyperlinked to advertisement, is anyone else seeing this? Is there anyway I can fix this? Thanks in advance.

    Not sure what add on to use for firefox, but I just put on an ad blocker on Chrome. I haven't seen an ad anywhere. Not on the side of the pages, no ads before youtube videos... It seriously takes away every single type of ad you can think of. Its just blank with nothing clickable. Its awesome, and can't believe I didn't know about this sooner.

    Thanks man, I'll find one asap. I've never seen this crap before, words are underlined and all go to different ads.

  • Sorry for the trouble. 247Sports doesn't run these kinds of ads -- because they're really annoying. Sometimes partners pass the code through the other ads so they can make an extra buck, but we don't see any of it.

    If you get it again please let us know the other ads on the page. You'll probbaly get a ton of ESPN ads on the top and right, but let us know about any non-ESPN ad you get when it happens.

    Feel free to email advertising@247sports.com with screen shots or the other ads you see. Thanks for posting, we'll fix is as soon as we can.

  • it could be some sort of add on or extension that was added on recently. Have you installed any programs recently that might have included an optional toolbar or anything?

    what sites do the hyperlinks take you too?

    you see where it says 'Text Enhance' in the picture? Does it say anything like that when you hover over a link?

    or you could just screenshot when you hover over a link and I can look into it. I've gotten these before but they've been different ones. Sometimes they require different fixes.
