Just noticed them now in the main index pages... you scroll over them and they open a pop up window with some promoted story...
The last straw? These adverts and promoted stories palaver is going a bit too far IMO... people will get bored of being bombarded with this crap and will move elsewhere and I have the feeling it is already happening... stop it before it's too late, thanks!

Yes:

When drugs don't work: training and health tips!
Yesterday the word "work" was green and subtitled and it was a link to a featured story, which opened as a pop up just by passing over it without clicking. Now it seems to have goneleft the forum March 20230 -
I had similar on another website I used to frequent but it was double green lines under certain words so more ad related and IIRC I got rid of the lines by uninstalling some extension that Firefox had, my browser of choice at the time.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

Some websites have this kind of thing, but it can also be caused by a browser extension installed by adware - you should check.0

Sounds very like text enhance adware - you installed any freeware from the net recently?0 -
I think I understand what you mean.
Could you screen shot it for me please? when you see it again.0 -
I don't get them on Firefox, but I have something we don't like to talk about to prevent such things.0
