Hey there, when im logging on here, certain words are being highlighted in blue, and when I scroll over them, ads from "Text Enhance" pop up. I have gone to their website and "opted out" of their ad system, but it still shows up periodically. Its only on BF, no other sites I go on. Is this something associated with the site, or is it specific to my browser, that I need to try to figure out?
 
I haven't noticed anything like that.

What browser are you using? I'm on FireFox and haven't had any issues with anything like that yet.

Its does sound like AdWare though, which is a real problem almost everywhere on the web.
 
Im on google chrome, and oddly enough, "firefox" got highlighted in your post, and I am continuing to get the highlights, but again, only on bladeforums.
 
I'm also on Google Chrome and I haven't noticed any highlighting like that but I will watch out for it.

That does sound like some adware worm that might be on your computer. Some will key in on certain words like Microsoft and make a link to sale sites.
