We have those evil green links that add themselves to various words beginning to appear on here.

Sounds like you have some adware, 'cause I don't see this issue.

Its called IntelliTXT and it can be disabled, and I bet Rollie put them on as a way to gain revenue because we all know how expensive server upgrades are.

I... don't think so. AVG AV didn't pick anything up; I'll have a look with AVG AS...

Well Sky, I did remove it from the forums, it's still in place on the site though. Will be watching and it it's more of a hassle than it's worth, I'll remove them from there as well.

I had actually installed a greasemonkey script to get rid of them like last week, haha. Apparently there's a few other companies besides vibrant media that also use these adds, so it blocks those too
