Why am I getting an advertisement for gym mats in the first posting of each thread? It says it from Chitika sponsored results? Is no one else seeing these?

Chuck explained in another thread that he is trying out different ads to help HT pay it's way.

I know a lot of people are talking about it, and they said people who use Internet Explorer were more likely to get them, but I use it and haven't seen any. I see the one ad for Backwoods Home Magazine, just like always, but nothing new, and I don't even have my popup blocker activated. Sorry for all those having problems! But even if there were ads, I wouldn't mind, if it helps Chuck pay for this place. I think it's worth it.

Chuck was playing around with the google ads and somehow activated that feature. He said he's going to turn that back off as soon as he figures out how LOL.

I click on the ads quite often. Not so much because I want anything they have but its nice to get some more info about things (knowledge is power) plus it helps keep the board going.
