    Hi, as above I'm using the Beta skin on Google Chrome. When I checked today's post of the day I noticed there is a link to a spammy ad in the word day.

    I took screenshots.

    and

    Is this something Boards is doing now?

    We are not injecting links/ads into words on our site.

    This is caused by some form of adware that must be installed on the machine you're using to browse boards.

    If you run spybot and malware bytes programs to clean your computer these links should disappear.

    Oh thanks a million for the reply. I'll try that. Sorry for doubting the site but you seem to have put ads everywhere else lately!

    No problems, we're trying to deliver ads that are somewhat related to our users. Guessing by your avatar you're female so the chances of a "Irish men 25+ wanted" ad isn't exactly up your street :pac:

    Ha ha. True. Don't worry though. Google appears to think I'm male too :)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
