Im noticing random links to websites that dont relate to peoples posts. Such as the word Deal will take you to some website, and the word Date (on the time and date of posts) takes you to a dating website.. Say it aint so!!

    Well, in my post above. The word Date is highlighted in green with two underlines, and it goes to true.com. Hmm. Maybe my laptop is effed.
  • RedivivusRedivivus
    Now the damn link is gone! WTH?!

    Edit: Now when I sort topics by Latest Post, the word Date is highlighted and acts as I described.

    Yeah, I don't see anything on my end. Maybe download malwarebytes, boot your computer up in safe mode. Run malwarebytes, do a full scan and see if that kills whatever is causeing the problem.

    I hate to break it to you, but that's your system and/or browser Sounds like you have spyware of some sort installed. Might try installing Spybot S&D.

    Hmm, thanks guys.. I was using Firefox when it happened. I opened Google Chrome, and everything looks ok. Stupid Firefox!


    Edit: Thanks for the suggestion Dain. Do you know a safe site for DLing this? Im extremely careful about what I visit online, so I'm not sure where this may have come from. I literally look up about 3 websites total haha, (NA being one) and no porn sites included in that lol.

    Forgot what I did but it was a simple uninstall of a toolbar or something.
