    Is this the new trend our wonderful world is going, to advertise us to death? Know what I'm talking about? If not, if you look at even some guys signatures (such as mine for the 'Dodge' and 'Autometer', there are dual green underlined hyperlinks that are linked to advertisements that pertain to the word.................

    Figure it's yet another good sponsorship situation for Steve, so I understand the concept but just annoys me yet another type of 'pop up' to me.

    Just trying to bring in some revenue to pay for the stickers I give out. I believe you can turn them off though.

    OK, what I did was made a conditional to only show the ads to non-registered viewers, so if your logged in no underline text ads.
