Ads in links
 

Attachment 239617

Saw this in both the electric supercharger thread: https://www.miataturbo.net/insert-bs...9/#post1027975

And the how much for a T25 thread: https://www.miataturbo.net/diy-turbo...ally-go-73704/


If your QA department is hiring, I may be interested ;)

I have not seen any of these. Make sure you don't have any malware or unusual browser plugins that you did not intentionally install.

i don't see em either.
and jesus, you don't know how to crop a fucking screenshot?

holy christ, that is a cropped screenshot. ugh

stop downloading gay porn

omfg, and you linked to a particular post which isn't the fucking post you're bitching about. good god.

The lack of crop was to illustrate that the link is an ad.

I have 2 monitors, I cropped out 80% of the image.

OMFG you don't know how to read, I included the link for the first post I saw them, and a link to the page the screenshot is from.


This is my work computer, I don't go on suspect sites with it nor do I have any malicious extensions.

:laugh: 5 star thrad

FWIW I've been seeing them this afternoon as well.

How it Works

This is not malware you idiots, it is more poor QA by IB. I understand that it happens, my job is literally to find bugs. I found one and reported it.

Thanks for your help though.

no. you linked which is not a post that contains the issue you've described.

the link you wanted is actually but whatever. stop downloading gay porn

also, just tested this with safari.
with ad-block installed on FF, this isn't an issue.
with safari, i see the ads too.

Ah that's what you meant. Sorry, I clicked on the 'view newest post' link to get to the Electric SC thread, then just copied the link from my browser bar.

i know what you did.
lesson - click on the post number to reveal and copy the link for that post.

I just saw one before coming here in a post about ebay. I'm a paying customer god damnit I don't think I should have to have adblock to browse ad free.

Chromium Portable ABP isnt blocking them. I should probably switch back to FFP since CP hasnt been supported in months and FF just came out slightly faster.

I made no accusations, just a suggestion. I have adblock installed as I do for all my browsers, so that is probably why I didn't get them.

Also, I'll download gay porn if I like.

Oh the ironing. First I've noticed it now too.

LITERALLY CASE IN POINT.

Sorry about that, +1 to PhillyB for the successful troll. Jimmies status: slightly rustled.

i'm fucking happy i don't see this bullshit. i normally close pages/articles that i'm reading when i see this kind of stuff.

Well here is your problem. I know of a few ways to kill this ;) but I hope they do the right thing :D

I'll assume that IB_nolan has already been warned. If the ads are still around on Monday then we can take turns ass raping him until he cries or starts to like it.

Bro your props make me sad, have a prop.

or likes it so much that he cries

I used to see this shit long ago, i figured i dont any more because of the adblocker plus. FF.

hahahaha

Completely random, we are actually waiting to push a request for a QA through next week. Must be proficient in MS Paint (this bit is sarcasm). I'll keep you updated.

lol, fastest way to check is to quote it. If it still shows in the quote, it's a real link.

uhhhh...
you don't use your browser's status bar?
hover your mouse over the word/link and look at the bottom of the screen.

Haha I was mostly joking, I have done very little web testing. Though since my company is moving that way (as is everyone) I'm sure I'll be learning soon. I believe we are starting to roll out Selenium (not an ad) but I haven't gotten a chance to play around with it yet.

No shit bro, but the Vig links show down there too. If you quote a vig link they don't show in the quoted text.

So you'll like it? There's nothing wrong with that. :party:

that is the vig link...
you can't tell by looking at a url that you don't want to click on it?
it's for bodybuilding.com. i don't need to quote the post in order to see that. i'm confused.

Sigh, I read this as vag link. Time to go wash my face and go workout i guess.

He added that link on purpose. It's not a vig link. The vig links are gone, they removed them (or at least they aren't showing anymore, looks like the javascript is still there, I think IB has the option to choose to have them add links like that via the API).

But when they were still active the vig links don't show when you quote someone (until you post it). But if someone adds a link manually it will show the link when you quote someone.

The javascript adds the link after the page source loads, so if you actually go in and look at the source code there are no html marks for the links, it's all added via javascript. So, it never actually shows as a link until you post it.

ok
