    This infolink bull sh*t. I try to click a link to another page on DI and all I get is a infolink to some bull sh*t site trying to sell me some sh*t I DO NOT WANT!
    Making it impossible to get the info that I know is in this website. What should be an easy task is now an impossible pain in the @ss.
    Thanks to "INFOLINK"

    There is a way to turn it off
    I remember seeing a post with directions to do it. Search for it. I am mobile right now or I would look for it too.

    If you don't hover your cursor over the infolinked words theres no problem.

    Try working on not doing that grandpainak.

    I've turned it off dozens of times, and tried different methods. Guess what, next time I fire up the puter, they are back.

    I must agree with Grandpa! VERY annoying.

    This is the "hard" way to get rid of infolinks but it works all the time and will also make your computer alot safer when surfing the web in general.

    1. Download and install the "Firefox web browser"
    2. Install the addon "NoScript Addon for firefox"

    It can be tricky at start to get the hang of this addon since it will block EVERYTHING on a webpage so in order to see a webpage properly you will have to click the button in the left right corner on the webbroswer that says "Settings" and Allow certain scripts/sites and deny those that you dont want like infolinks.

    Its a bit of work since you have to do this on every webpage you visit but once done that webpage will be saved and no more settings have to be done to it and you can always allow and/or deny stuff later if something went wrong the first time.

    Happy surfing and PM me if theres any questions.
