Google hijacking my clicks on this site
(1/4) > >>
emphatic:
I'm starting to become really annoyed now. Once in a while (yet every time I visit BYAC) when hovering the mouse pointer on a forum thread here, or a specific page, the status bar doesn't say that by clicking I will go to the page I expect to, but rather to googleads... something. If this is some way of helping this site to survive, I'd like to know (and it's all good), because as it is now feels really low and "scam-like" to me. When I click I always seem to end up @ Ultimarc and have to go back.

dfmaverick:
Just for reference, I have not experienced anything similar.
CrazyKongFan:
Me neither. I see the google/Ultimarc (and others) ad at the bottom, but I've never had it hijack any clicks.

No idea and nothing we've done. We do have Google Ads, but they're clearly boxed in at the very top and very bottom, and not embedded in the threads.
