Topic: Possible Porn Ads Being Linked When Replying

The first time I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but it happened again. When replying to a post, the intermediate screen ("We are taking you back...") showed an ad with the words "naked asian girls."

But it's a transitory screen and I can't get a screenshot or even read the whole ad, so I can't be sure that's what it said. I'm assuming google screens these things, so I thought I'd post my observation in case the mods want to look into it.

Dag,
It is obviously your conscience calling you. Would you like to share with the group what is going on?

(Obviously, Google is learning our individual tastes via spyware and other evil invasive snoopers. Interesting that Dag gets porn ads and I get science fiction ads. Very interesting indeed...)

Man, try to do the right thing and everyone thinks badly of you... (I can't tell if sndrake thinks badly or is just jealous.)

Although, if it's doing it by IP address, I am on the school's LAN right now.

Apparantly, I derailed all of Hatrack, not just one thread.

Now that's fluff!

I saw an add for adult science fiction stories on hatrack once...it was also on a reply page.

btw, what thread was it on? Sometimes they read the content of the thread and match the posts to the thread content.

Sometimes popup porn ads can install themselves on your computer, and pop up at random times no matter what you're doing later. Was the ad actually on the Hatrack page itself? Or a popup? You may just need to disinfect your system.

Though it's a shame to spoil the fun, so I will also suggest an alternate theory of freudian hallucinations. [Smile]

It was in the same place as the other ads on the page, so it would have to have been one that substituted text for text - pretty smart ad program, I think.

Plus, I use Firefox.

It's possible, but it was a very good substitution if it was.

Sounds like malware to me. Though I've never heard of it being embedded in a webpage before.

*watches closely as she hits reply*

[edit] Science Fiction novels. No pr0n here.

I dunno, you really gotta check your computer. Me, I bit some one's head off once on Hatrack 1830s because I thought they'd put porn links in their post. Turned out an e-mail I got had a virus attached that would apparentley scan text. For instance: in assets, the first three letters would be a link.

Hmmm. All I saw was an ad for a site you oculd buy term papers.
