Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,504 Send Message	That sounds like you are using Internet Explorer Almost at the top of the screen towards the left hand side does it say "File...Edit...View" etc?
Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 1,300 Send Message	PigletsPal	Report	27 Jan 2013 20:50

	Install Adblock - there are versions for all popular browsers. It is free. End of problem. Here is the firefox version http://adblockplus.org/en/firefox and here is a similar product for IE http://adblock-ie.en.softonic.com/

Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,504 Send Message	Good advice Rollo and good software but you should still have cross site scripting blocked

Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,504 Send Message	PigletsPal If you want I will send you a step by step guide Google is a website whereas Internet Explorer is the software (interface) that enables you to access it.

Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,504 Send Message	it means the XSS filter is doing its job and preventing potential problems Andrew - good advice - you can also change all sorts of settings from there

	As I have not seen this problem on any other sites I visit such as Rootschat or Facebook, could it be someone hacking through this site if so should it be reported to the GR team?
