Okay, this is not a complaint. If it was done to generate money for the site I am all for it. However, if I did something, or my son downloaded something that is causing this does anyone have any idea what it could be?

I have little underlined words all over the text and when I put my cursor over them tiny pop ups appear.
 
what browser?

I don't know how but there are certain words on peoples posts that are in blue and they are underlined and when my cursor passes over them a small box pops up and it does not go away right away when I move off of them. They do eventually shut though.
 
I'll move this to the Site Help section in case other members are having this problem and make sure to bring this to the attention of the admins.

It seems to be happening on my Ipad and Kindles only. I know the IPad is Safari. Not sure what the Kindle is.

I actually don't know shot about computers. .but whenever somebody has an issue with this site,the foray question always asked is "what browser are you using "
 
After checking with one of the admins, -X-, the answer seems to be that you have a virus. The virus turns certain keywords into links. Follow the URL of the link in question and you will be able to tell it's not coming from this site.

Run a virus scan and let us know if that solves the problem.

Sounds like adware to me, go to control panel -> programs, order by "installed on" and there should be a suspicious program on there, right click-> uninstall.
