Default Re: Advertising on FB

From the FAQ section:

The administrator will probably require you to register in order to use all the features of the forum. Being registered gives you an identity on the board, a fixed username on all messages you post and an online public profile.
Registration is free (unless otherwise specified), and offers an extended range of features, including:
Posting new threads
Replying to other peoples' threads
Editing your posts
Receiving email notification of replies to posts and threads you specify
Sending private messages to other members
Creating albums of pictures and comment on others' pictures
Adding events to the forum calendar
Setting up a 'contact list' to quickly see which of your friends are online.
How do I register?
You register by clicking on the 'Register' link near the top of the page. You will be asked to choose a user name, password and enter a valid email address. In addition there will be some other fields to which you will be invited to respond. Some will be mandatory while others are optional. Once this is complete you will either be fully registered, or in some cases you may have to click on a link in an 'activation email' sent to your email address. Once you have done this you will be registered.
Note that entering your email address will not leave you open to 'spam', as you can choose to hide it from other board users. You'll probably be able to allow other registered users to contact you via email, but the system won't display your email address to them unless you give permission.
If you are under the age of 13, the administrator may require that a parent or guardian provide consent before allowing you to complete the registration process. More information about this is available during the registration process.

Yes, and he had to log in to post also. Therefore, if he could post the question, he IS logged in. Could be an issue with cookies or a browser setting.

I had the exact same problem whether logged in or out. Somewhere somehow my browser was highjacked and it altered what I was viewing to contain ad links. I had to have my computer fixed at my friendly computer fixit shop.

Bill I would download SuperAntiSpyware and run a scan. Even if you have anti-virus software. I did this for a friend and we removed 2,200 tracking cookies.
Even if it doesn't fix your problem I'd suggest doing it anyway.
BTW the computer ran very fast after that..!
Side note I run Microsoft Security Essentials (free) and picked up a bug, The first one in years. SuperAntiSpyware found it and 900 tracking cookies on my laptop.
Microsoft cleaned the trojan after the other program found it.

When using google chrome, I had to go to Settings, Show advanced settings...
Privacy Content Settings....Cookies, Block third-party cookies and site data, once I checked this setting the advertisements stopped.
