Also freaked me for a second. Thought that maybe I had spyware on my machine that was doing this.

It does seem pretty interesting....I'm not sure how it works either since it didn't pick up cars here, but it does seem to pick it up elsewhere....

well.. at first I thought is was some spammer injecting links into his text.. until I saw that regulars had links injected into thier text.

Personally I think its OK .. IF.. it makes some extra income for the forum.. and they can get rid of the prem. membership stuff

Which browser are you using there? I don't see any ads.

I've seen what you're talking about on other major boards like HowardForums.

Weird. I see it, but only in a couple peoples posts, but not in others with the same words. Crazy, I really don't like it.

I don't see any here but I did visit G35driver this morning and saw them there. I though G35Driver was undergoing an upgrade recently so they may have some functionality that MY350Z doesn't have yet. Kyle might have been testing it here?

yea.. it seems to parse the text on the page in the posts .. and then on page render... decide to highlight words at random.. so .. you may see the same word highlighted and you may not. Firefox here too.. IE Sucks.

As long as the site stays free, I can live with some green words and underlining.
