AdWords Poison!!

It appears so, the same URL on post 4 of this thread and the thread linked to in post #14 no longer parse the url incorrectly.

I do agree with others where the entire URL may be ad-word linked, thus preventing clicking on the intended link at all because the ad pops up under the cursor. Maybe consideration should be given to, at the very least, preventing ad-word linking in URL tag enclosed text?

I'll present idea that tomorrow. Thanks.

Edit 2: Its gone with the refresh of the page.

Appears that things are working properly now. :)

I am confuse as to what you mean? I just checked Adam's original post and the images are still showing on the link.

Edited: I may have misunderstood your comment. I brought this up twice before also and in post #62 above, it sounds like that could go away when the entire URL is AdWord linked (hope so, else what's the point of providing a link if you can't access it?)
But if you are talking about how/when AdWord links are created, these explain it well I think

Ah ok, thanks! I thought Rob was saying that the problem had been fixed.

So what about it putting a link in the middle of a word? It's still doing that.

Only until you refresh the page. Example:Greatly. That appeared linked upon submittal of quick reply. Quick page refresh and it's gone. I explain why that is earlier in the thread. However it is still linking keywords at the beginning of the string, but not in the middle. We are working on that.

It doesn't matter how many times I click reply, it's still linking on "atl" in the word "greatly" I also noticed it linked the 'atl' in the word 'boatload' in a post I hadn't viewed until just this morning, it's an adword thing not a browser & refresh problem

you see a link in my post above? Can you link me to the other posts you're referring to?

These were two of them that was doing it:
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=604655 (Greatly, post #1)
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=604753 (boatloads, post #2)

It looks like adword's has been corrected now :)

While I do not entirely agree with the title of the thread as i understand and agree with the financial needs of a forum, I am running into some issues that have made me much less frequent on the forums.

Whenever I load a new forum page, or go back to a page, I encounter a long delay in the page loading. I took a screenshot this morning and narrowed it down to what I am seeing in the status bar. This is happening both in Firefox 3.5.8, IE 7/8 w/all service packs. Sometimes it is GoogleAnalytics that remains in the status bar. The behaviour that is the most problematic is that I cannot click on the Search, Forum Tools, QuickLinks, or any item that has a menu until it is done loading. It has taken up to 3 minutes to complete.

Other info, we have a proxy/firewall (SonicWALL) and CA antivirus - both are network administered, not local.

If you need any other info, let me know.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this issue and thank you for a wonderful forum - this forum has IMHO made me a better developer. Keep up the good work!! (two strokes for a poke rule!!)

Is anyone else having slow loads and seeing the same thing in the status bar? It is easier for us to go back and get attention if we can confirm it isn't an isolated issue.

Thanks,

Brad!

Hey Brad,

As I mentioned to dminder in another thread, I have not seen any of these issues. In fairness, I use Google Chrome to look at VBForums, and I noticed that this was not listed on dminder's list of web browsers that were tried.
