I just posted a reply in this topic and when I clicked the reply button a pop up ad appeared that I am sure was not supposed to be there. Screen capture shown below. I think someone has hacked the site to make their ads appear. I am using Mac Firefox, latest version, and interestingly, I had the Firefox pop up blocker turned on. It didn't stop this one.

It's not a forum hack Barry. Just a private message from an idiot spammer. One that was already dealt with the same morning he PM'd both me and apparently you. wink1.gif

Okay, thanks Randy. I just thought it was strange that when I clicked the reply button the pop up message appeared right at that moment.

I thought all those who joined this forum already know how to make money online. sarcastic_blum.gif

This is a case of targeting the wrong audience. mf_tongue.gif
