Typically, the first post in the thread has a full-color motion ad inserted to the right of the text, scrunching it to the left of the box. This is also showing up in other posts downthread, including the Brian Powell thread that I started and know I did not insert the ad into? I'm using a Mozilla FireFox browser and I don't know if that factors into the problem. Is this a new Yuku gimmick? Speedy? I know this probably belongs in the "Forum Feedback" section, but I want to post it here first to confirm if others are seeing the same thing or if it is just me. I visit other forums and have not seen this happen in other forums. Thanks. "We don't do anything easy. We're the Astros." - Craig Biggio

It's probably not a virus/worm then. I'm guessing Yuku is behind it but I'm waiting for more evidence before I conclude that. It is different ads each time, like Netflix and ATT and a lot of the crap you see when you go to Yahoo or Google. "We don't do anything easy. We're the Astros." - Craig Biggio

I refuse to be talked to like that from an automatic ad.

Even if they offered me lifetime movies for free, I wouldn't use them. "We don't do anything easy. We're the Astros." - Craig Biggio

No, it's not a new gimmick, just something we haven't had to deal with for a great while. It appears our Gold ad-free status has expired. There's a link at the top of the main page "Contribute Now!" that gives some options of how to get the ad-free status back. As near as I can figure, and with Yuku it's not that easy to figure, but I think the $54 price will get us almost a year. That's if I followed their formula right. Either way, funds are needed once again to keep the ads away. As I said, we haven't had to do it in a while, in fact, I believe this is the first time it's come up since we've been on Yuku. Back on the old EZboard it was the "Community Chest" that we had to contribute to to keep the ads away. So it's no different here. Just a little harder to figure out what you're paying for. *The Real* HR Leaders Aaron 755, Ruth 714, Mays 660, Griffey, Jr. 627, F. Robinson 586 I started out with nothing...and I still have most of it.**

That's worth it to me. Who else wants to join in? "We don't do anything easy. We're the Astros." - Craig Biggio

Pat, you can find the "Contribute Now" link if you go back to the Main Screen for Astros Baseball Talk and look on the left-hand side before you get to the topic areas. It sends money to PayPal. Edit: $10 now added. Pat, you also have a message from me to your account here. Click the tiny envelope at the very top. "We don't do anything easy.
