I find these really annoying. An obvious money grab by Chess.com(not making enough millions I guess). I have been a premium memeber for a few years but will not renew if they keep this up.Will join ICC. As a premium member I shoud not have to put up with this BS.It is tacky as hell.

Hi guys. Those in-text hyperlink ads aren't from Chess.com :( Make sure that you don't have any extensions or plugins on your browser.
What extensions do you have? Names used by Text Enhance include Text Enhance, Text Serve, SavebyClick, Add Lyrics, Send to Kindle, Just Plug It, Zoomex, CouponDropDown, TorrentHandler, Privacy SafeGuard, StartNow, MyStart, and Shockwave Flash. Try looking for one of these, if the one causing the problems is called Shockwave Flash then uninstall and reinstall from the official Adobe website.
Once upon a time, there were ads that showed a picture with some accompanying text. Then there were ads that sparkled and flashed. Then there were ads that talked and sang (and screamed and growled). Then there were ads that took over your whole web page. Now, there are ads that pop-up when you hover over links. Those are the worst. You can never visit the links! It's got to stop at some point. Just today, I was trying to visit a link to a game, and an ad popped up from this ad service: http://text-enhance.com/
p.s. Once, when an old computer got a virus, Zwinky ad people danced across the screen (the internet browser wasn't even on yet)!
