    Has anyone else noticed that certain words within posts are highlighted red? If you click on them they usually take you to ebay, Amazon or similar but they don't always take you to a similar item!

    One example was on the what have you done page where someone fitted a carbon mudguard but the red link took you to argos for a bicycle mudguard! ????

    Smart ads...

    Or should it be dumbass ads.

    Only worry if you're looking for new 'rubber' and it pops up red, Steve...

    Fookin annoying ads :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I understand the need for ads but when they alter posts I find them very intrusive and misleading as they give the impression that the poster has put in a link that is relevant to the post. Personally it just means that I won't follow any links etc unless they are specifically mentioned in the post.
