I'm using Firefox right now and I'm getting them.
If there is a list somewhere of people who don't like it, please add me to it.

Re: Contextual Advertising on DVD Talk
I just started seeing these yesterday. I'm usually able to adjust to changes but I'm not sure about this one. If they are here to stay, it would certainly help if they were significantly different than links. I'll try to not be too cynical and assume the similarity is not intentional.
IB: I try not to complain too much but these are a bit out of hand. As a matter of fact, I'm looking one in the toolbar at the top of my text box. "Fonts" is showing up as a contextual ad.
Also it looks like ContentLink needs to work on the "contextual" part.

Re: Contextual Advertising on DVD Talk
It only lasted two or three days when I was getting them.
They must be rotating them around amongst the members so there aren't a flood of complaints all at once. They wouldn't want a complete revolt.

I checked my processed, and nothing there. Then I searched for it to block it in regedit, but it wasnt there either. Then I did a file search and zilch.. no programs, no cookies.
Then I found this post and success!!! YaY!

Re: Contextual Advertising on DVD Talk
Tried blocking within IE8 settings but to no avail. Am I doing this wrong, do I need to do this within Windows Firewall? Thanks for any help.

Re: Contextual Advertising on DVD Talk
logging in using my wife's new laptop...and see these all over, sometimes 5-10 in a given page. She uses firefox, while I use Flock on my computer and don't see them at all.
it's very annoying...especially when I'm a premium user

Re: Contextual Advertising on DVD Talk
When I'm on a machine and not logged in, I see Google ads in the first post of a thread OVERLAYING the text so it is unreadable without logging in first. Is this intentional? (Safari 4.0)

It's my understanding that due to the complaints, IB is switching to a new ad delivery service that seamlessly integrates the ads into your posts rather than WILLY'S TIRE WORLD IN PEORIA obnoxiously having the links and pop-ups.

Re: Contextual Advertising on DVD Talk
Today is the first time I got hit with contextual advertising on DVDTalk. 
Hopefully it's just a random occurence.

Re: Contextual Advertising on DVD Talk
What the fuck? This shit is back, seriously? I refuse to visit a site where I have to wade through these. Side note, I'm reading on an iPhone and the text is small except for these GIANT, useless underlined words.
