[RESOLVED] Rollover Advertisements Inserted On Key Words

[jmcilhinney]

Those rollover ads are very annoying, but I recognise that a site such as this must support itself. That said, here's an example of how those ads make a mess of code snippets formatted with [HIGHLIGHT] tags:

Are saying you get those rollover ads when you hover over normal links like you linked to above? If so, I only get those ads when there is a key word in the link.

No what jm means is that the code automatically gets underlined...

Maybe it's not because of the rollover ads inserted but here's one of the lines of code from that post:

Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(filePath)

Here's what it looks like in CODE tags:

Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(filePath)

Here's what it looks like in HIGHLIGHT tags:

Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(filePath)

Does it happen just when the code is something as above or no matter what the code is? I say that because my post here uses the highlight tags but it displays normally.

I don't see an ad but I do see the underlining. It's interesting that when I click on the "link" I get a Google search for <span style=

I'll ask someone to look into this.

Brad!

Hmmm... I assumed that "File" had been identified as a key word and an ad link was inserted and that link was what was getting messed up in the HIGHLIGHT tag but now I see that File wasn't identified as a key word elsewhere, so that mustn't be it. In fact, it seems like lots of words that were previously becoming links to popup ads are no longer, so I assume that that policy has changed. It just seems to be the word "File" inside a HIGHLIGHT tag that displays this specific issue. It's a problem, and a new problem, but not the problem I first thought. Your attention is appreciated gentlemen.

Thanks Brad.

This issue has been looked into by Heidi. It is a result of a change to the code color highlighting updates that were recently added. The changes have been rolled back, so the issue should go away.

Brad!

Thanks to all involved. I'll be less likely to jump to conclusions in future.
