A Google Ad has suddenly appeared in the text of a thread I started? What's going on?

    Hi all,

    I was about to respond a thread I started but I'm now prevented from posting to it. :confused:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1728346
    I've just noticed that the original posting now has a Google Ad in the middle of the text - it was not there a few days ago and has nothing to do with me. Is this done by DP or is it something I should be concerned about?

    Thank you in advance.

    If you aren't logged in, it will show an ad. Which probably is the case because nothing is preventing you from posting in it except if you weren't logged in.

    Not only that Google ads may show up here and there as they are able to be aded via the VB admin control panel.

    I am guessing Shaun may be thinking you are a premium member and that perhaps they have set things so ads don't show for premium members, but I may be wrong?!?!
