Why are your posts placing the text "Ads not by this site" at the end of the previous post on your responses?
Looks daft and breaks the convention that you don't change the post you are replying to (except by dint of snipping).
I have not (so far) seen it on anyone else's responses.
Who are you talking to, and what are you talking about?
He's talking to "Harry" who has recently been posting "Ads not by this site" immediately after the quoted text without even a single space separation.
Harry posts via Google Groups (why?) Perhaps it's GG way of telling us that we are missing all their sponsored crap when we read Usenet posts via er,Usenet.
I see the "ads not by this site" on harry's recent posts. If I use google groups (old or new version) I don't see the text added in any replies I compose, even with AB+ turned off, I didn't go so far as actually posting them.
Looks like GG postings now go through a couple of SMTP hops, which they didn't some time ago.
Ah, harry's been killfiled here for a ling time.

I have no idea. I am suddenly having floating adverts appearing.
You are correct. The Google is much easier to follow threads and you can find old threads much easier.I use the "Old" Goggle. They are really annoying. Anyone know how to get rid of them?
I don't think they're coming from Google, more likely you've picked up some malware that's injecting adverts into web pages as you view them, do they appear if you use a different browser?
One thing I've noticed is that Outlook Express occasionally removes things like OT: from the subject lines, but not all the time. Weird.

Its from a bunch of related browser hijack programs...
SaveAs, SearchNew tab, Search assistant, web search, coupon companion etc.
Generally they can be uninstalled fairly easily, although you will need to manually drop them as add ons from the browser.
Malwarebytes anti-malware will have most of them away.
You've probably picked up a potentially unwanted or even malicious web browser extension. The problem is that "ads not by this site" might be displayed by more than 40 different extension, complete list is available here
'Remove the \"Ads not by this site\" Browser Hijacker'
'AdwCleaner Download'
Cheers!
