I was visiting today and saw the weird underlined links ... noticed the same thing on another computer related site yesterday so I thought my computer caught some spyware.
A big thank you to the person that posted about this in the tech sub-forum ... DNForum should put an announcement up explaining the underlined links are part of their advertising and not a problem with people's computers.
On an aside, it appears DNForum is disperate for revenue if it has to turn to spyware-like tactics.
I characterize it as spyware-like, since posts, including mine, now contain links I did NOT intend ... and many to sites I do NOT visit; particularly not pleased seeing "email" in my posts underlined linked elsewhere.
Lastly, at this point I'd be very leery of ever conducting business through this forum ... sure I'll still use PM, post, etc here, but less often ... I definitely will never purchase any products/services from DNForum for a long time after this ... trust is very important ... I feel that trust between DNForum and its visitors/members has been broken with posts being altered without express permission of their authors.
