The vice president of Infolinks contacted me a little while ago and talked me into trying using their ad network. I agreed, but only on a trial basis, so this may not be a permanent change.
I will run them for a few days and see how they perform. If they manage to bring in some decent side revenue for the site, I will keep them as it will help me pay for improvements and new features to the site.
If, however, it does not bring in very much then I will remove them as I do know they are rather intrusive.
I have changed the colour of the in-text ad links from green to black to better coincide with our colour palette, which should help tone them down a bit.
In addition, if I do keep them, I will restrict them to appearing within the actual posts, nowhere else on the site such as in signatures or navigational areas of the site.
Do you know of any reason that they would affect clicking the back button? I have to click three times to return to the previous page, this is on three computers, BTW. I haven't tried dumping my cookies yet. It just seems weird that the Infolinks appearance would coincide with the back button not functioning properly.

Yeah, that seems to be the problem with me as well.
Sorry, and nothing against you at all Tyler, but it's kind of annoying when we can't return to a previous page when trying to click on the Back button. Do you think that you might be able to fix that part?

I tried visiting the forum in IE and was able to duplicate the back button issue as well. Since Infolinks proved to be too troublesome, I have removed it :-)

Infolinks displays In Text ads on thousands of websites web-wide. Our In Text ads are considered as the next generation of contextual advertising since they are much less intrusive and based on the readers permission. The ads only show up for your interested readers. If they mouse-over the double underline links, they will see a small bubble containing advertisement related to the text marked. They can choose to either make the bubble disappear by moving the mouse away and go on with their browsing, or to press on the bubble and go to the ad which is relevant to your text. As you know, you can customize the links to get the look and feel of your website so it blends well with your content.
As for the "back button" issue - it can be easily solved so I asked our tech team to cook it for you...
Okay, I have re-added the Infolinks ads as the back button bug does appear to have been fixed now. We'll see how it does monetarily - I'm still using it on a trial basis.
