I see, thanks.
Little Green Words
2 of 2
Dear DS Mods and Advertisers,
I will never buy any product that you try to foist on me with these annoying green lined words. Ever. No matter how good the product (and let's face it, a certain stinky male deodorant range is not what you could call a good product) and no matter what brilliant offers you may come up with. Never ever, not if my purse was on fire and these were the only products in the shop. So kindly stop mucking about with the forums and get rid of the green lined adverts.
Thank you.
Wiskas.

That isn't the case. I always log in & have been getting the green words.
Would add, they seem to have disappeared this afternoon, so perhaps "someone" has done "something" ? If so, who ever you are, thank you.

No sign of it on Google Chrome.
But I installed Adblock Plus some time ago and get no ads even on Facebook
I'm still getting them. All I managed to do was clear my internet history to such an extent that I lost all the pages which weren't bookmarked and it logged me out of all my regularly visited sites. Obviously some of the cookies are essential to making sites work because they were all back when I checked, I cleared them again and lo and behold my logins were gone again.
Looks like I'm stuck with the stupid green words.
Wiskas deserves to have post of the day for that offering. I wholehearted agree with you.

Seconded. Also it can be extemely offensive eg on other threads when someone is distressed or discussing something distressing - up pops some puerile advert regardless of post content. ( That happens in quite a few threads). It's crass.
I don't get them, perhaps you are the only one that can see them. Do they say anything about Lee Harvey Oswald?

No but they're offering a Len's lens if you want one for Christmas.

Why's it running slow? Two culprits are over cluttered or not enough memory.
It's only happening when I visit digital spy. Nowhere else. Have checked computer - no problems.
It's not even on every thread. I'm not putting an ad blocker on either. It's not worth it for just this site that has allowed ads to pop up with every key word.

I think it might have something to do with Chrome and Flash not getting along .... and being cluttered
... and probably lack of memory 
I changed from MSN to Google for browser, got Google Chrome and Ad block. Little green words have gone, now. I won't be laughing if all my twiddling was in vain and they pop back up.again.
There was a post about a very serious topic on another thread and an advert popped up by the word 'child'. I found that to be really gross.

No green words on my IPad, using Safari, although I sometimes get them in emails. No problems with pop up ads either.
Just takes me about half an hour to write a post.
