Anyone else seen these? Are they normal? Dwagin's signature has one (Just saying, since it's not normal.) and I've seen them in multiple posts. If you just browse the forums for a bit, you'll see what I'm talking about. From first glance, it looks like pure spam but I don't got the nuts to click on it. Their in normal forum posts, if your unsure where to look. Apologies if this is already being dicussed, and please post the thread url if it's already being dicussed.

If ya'll don't see anything, please tell me so I know it's a personal computer issue.

I don't see anything. Your browser's infected.

Most likely its your browsers way of handling linked images. Like ones you can click on to go somewhere. Whats the blue text say?

He said there's such a link in Dwagin's signature, but there are no links in Dwagin's signature. He's got some adware.

You mean little blue links replacing pictures? Because I saw a few of those.

My browsers likely infected. But, it just brings up a popup whenever clicked on to some college education scam or free cheap games. That's essentially it. I litterly just found and fixed the problem. No more issues, thanks to all who responded.

That's how Dwagin's sig should look... tested in IE7, as well.

EDIT: Glad you managed to fix it. Be careful, though - there may be remnants. Adware's often more than just annoying.
