Thank you, Sherry, for asking this question. I had, of course, seen the green lines, but I had assumed it was some new and special kind of link, and I have just bypassed it, not being in the mood for links (at least, until I get DSL). Now that I know it is advertising, I do find it objectionable, for this reason: It is inserted into a post written by someone who has NOT requested, or even been asked, to have advertising incorporated into his/her post. At least, that is how it seems to work, since nobody seemed to really know about it. This is not right. It is also deceptive. Of course, advertising is deceptive by nature, and I should know, having worked in that world for most of my working life - nonetheless, I feel this oversteps the mark. I know that GardenWeb needs advertisers to provide the funding for this forum that we all love, but I feel that we are already putting up with a certain amount of it, e.g., the annoying window-shade ad at the top of the page. I'll put up with that, but I would not like having the green lines inserted in a post that I have written. Laura

When I click on the ? all that comes up is WOT warning. Closing that takes me to a shopping site. I don't see any disble tab anywhere. More help please?

Okay...I think I've gotten rid of them again...BUT.... I wish they would leave the link on top so I wouldn't have to do it everytime I clean out history and cookies. That's what I had done last night that must have caused them to come back. Connie did you have that link saved somewhere? patti

They were around a few weeeks ago, stopped, now are here again this morning. The people who come up with these ideas must think viewers are really stupid. "Oh, gosh, that word is underlined. She/he must recommend it! I'll buy it right NOW!" If we were that stupid we wouldn't have any money to spend.
