I have noticed, when I post, sometimes the adds just below the search line reflect the subject I just made. Hmmmm. I wonder, if the adds reflect the subject, such as when I posted on fuel the adds showed biofuels, etc., do they also inject spyware? I do not mind that sort of thing. Mark created this board and he did one heck of a job, but, it does cost. Mark has done enough and he shouldn't have to cough up for our pleasures. If he has found sponsors to keep this board up and flowing, great. It just might be me however. My 'puter might be full of Electricals. Just cannot seem to get rid of those daggoned things.

See, it just did it! The ads now show spyware programs! There is no escape.

I have noticed that, too. It seems to pick out some key words and displays somewhat related ads. My spyware blocker/finder doesn't find any, though, at least none I can directly attribute to the ads.

It picks up key words from the text that is displayed in the posts. There isn't any spyware involved that I know of. But be careful what you type. A couple posts have brought up some down right embarrassing adds. Haha
