Random Green Links?

I was curious as to the purpose of those random green links that are on ever page. For example the "Online" Of Roleplay Online and the "Chat" of community chat. Are they simply for advertising purposes or...?

Re: Random Green Links?

if you hover over them and they pop up an ad, i think you may have some adware on your computer, because i don't have any on my page.

Ah! That is entirely possible. I shall check my computer quickly and see if that's the cause. I thought it was strange.

AdAware and MalwareBytes are amazing for that.

I've had the same thing happen to me twice in two years.    It's amazing how sneaky those things are.   :)

Re: Random Green Links?

It's likely a certain site you're visiting or some kind of download you have made that sets it off. Make sure your internet security is up to date and be careful what you click on :)
