Just a word of warning. Some of you may have seen some banner ads. There's not much admin can do about these under the terms of free forum hosting. These are a requirement from ProBoards. But there's no requirement that you click on any of them. In particular, be careful of banner ads that appear to be something associated with the forum. I just saw a banner ad that was a giant green DOWNLOAD button, and then fine print saying what the download was for. Don't click on any new "buttons", no matter how colorful. If we add any new buttons/features, they will be announced. Also, please do not bring up any discussion of ad-blocking software in this thread or anywhere in this forum. It might get us booted. k

Odd, ProBoards won't let me successfully post a screenshot of that phishing ad.

Interesting, apparently there is a filter that I didn't know about. Learned another new thing today. Anyway, here is the phishing ad: Never click those thick juicy download buttons, whether here or elsewhere, no matter how enticing they may be... Although you will find good reviews for Privacy Keeper extension, in reality it is Malware. It will hijack your browser search, just like Microsoft Bing... uh, wait a minute...

A person can pay a small monthly fee to have the ads removed.

But then it's no longer free.
(sorry, that's the cheapskate in me typing)
