the url causes the link to be hidden by some adblockers
It only seems to be for the one forum. In fact I can get to a page that has the description but it isn't clickable and no underline.
It's not a big problem for me as I will be back on my own computer soon.
I'd fiddle around with the options to see if I could fix it but things are getting a bit testy around here with both of us on one computer. ;)
Mostly I just find it so curious that it would happen with just one forum.

just wondering
>> I have Norton running and I can see it fine.
I know there is a product that does this and specifically to this link, I just can't quite remember which one it was
There is nothing between below and above.
The whole affiliates forum page looks like that. Blanks where the linked text would be.
The computer has Norton Internet Security 2004 and Norton Antivirus 2004. I don't think Norton will be supporting this version anymore and we have just sent for a newer version.
Maybe once people aren't using this older version it won't be a problem. That would explain why others with Norton are seeing the forum just fine. Most people probably have newer versions.
It also strips images from sites mistaking them for banner ads.
it's Norton
the link has the word
a d v e r t i s i n g
in it. A very simple flag, not sure how often it would be tripped, or be a false positive, but entertaining none the less.
sorry no fix from our end
Oh funny! I'm so glad Norton is protecting me from myself. ;)
I'll deal with it when I get my computer back if it happens there.
Mostly I was just so curious about what caused it. Now the mystery is solved.
crobb, do you have the word advertizing in the link? It looks to me it may only get blocked if it's in the anchor text.
