Auto appearing URLs??

Rattrapmax6 · Post by **Rattrapmax6** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 4:32 pm

I've been loking round this site, and in the topics, mine and others, I see some words with a orange bar under 'em,. they're like URLs,.. There is even one on "programers" at the main menu of this forum!

What are these, where did they come from, they're are some in QBnews too!, so???

I'm on my Windows username now, I might have a setting or somthing on here or somthing, but its weird,..

PS: The info bar on the bottom of my window calls it a TopTextLink?? What?

You probably have some GOOGLE bar or something installed that scans every document you see, and underlines stuff so you can search for it or something.

Could even be a virus, or just Win XP feeling funny.

I have WIN 98,. there come out like ADs,. if I pause the cruser over one, a text AD comes up... like the car,.. "Visit car (something) .com for the best car search engine, find the best prices" or something close, and so far, it only does it in here and QBNew,. I'll look around tho n see if I see 'em anywhere else tho,..

,. oh well,.. I just started up my DATA bot for nothing,.. Its kinda cool, where it came from I still don't know,. might have just always been there and just started working, who knows.. or my dad downloaded it by accedent.. hmm,..

Any way, now thats over, or I hope anyway..

, Been saving allowance, might have enough for a tower, got moniters 3 mice, if I could get the third to work on here be nice.. and several keyboards,..

....A 1Gig Drive..

....

......

...........

*Mit bursts laughing*

I'm sorry LOL

Ummm...why would Rel be in a CyberCafe if your computer broke? I'm confused on that part....

Rattrapmax6 · Post by **Rattrapmax6** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 6:33 pm

The one I'm one is a 9gig,. our spare is 1gig...

Oh, Rel is already there, I'd just be joining him, if my comp blew too..

We don't use the same comp if thats what you thought,. rereading it came out that way, sorry,

Mitth'raw'nuruodo · Post by **Mitth'raw'nuruodo** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 11:31 am

Ya I guess, poor Rel....

. He made those good 3D articles too...

Still a 9 gig drive?

Our oldest comp which we got rid of not to long ago was a Q (forgot the name began with a Q) PC with 20 gigs...

Our second oldest or oldest now is a DELL with 20Gig...

The one I'm on right now is our new comp, A DELL with 160 Gigs baby!

woo! Also besides for the fact that it has 3.0 Ghz processing speed...Does that have anything to do with my not having any problems with speed for my 3D program? He, he....

Rattrapmax6 · Post by **Rattrapmax6** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 1:52 pm

I've seen 520gigs for sale,. I want me one of those,. heh heh,.

How could you fill all that space?

*Mit thinks....*

*Mit drops dead form the thought while puzzled on how he could have typed that he had died*

Rattrapmax6 · Post by **Rattrapmax6** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 8:48 am

Thats my point!!! after the drive is half ful the comp slows down,. so with a bigger drive, its harder to hit halfway..

oh ok...
