Odd text appearing while loading a page.

Hi!

Recently, whenever I've gone into the Transformers Funnies, I have some...text? Garbage? Something. Anyway, some of the text mentions posters. This is most of what I see:

go away, kremstfu, shane anderson, shane anderson is god, the best, thrustinator, epic win, go away, kremstfu, shane anderson, shane anderson is god, the best, thrustinator

I also see this in the Transformers General Discussion thread title "When is too far too far? by wheeljaxx (When is too far too far?):

best thread ever, die thread die, geek affirmation exercise, megatron roleplay, this thread is too far, thread: the immortal, whose ox is being gored

and something similar in the "OH MY GOD Pat Lee did official TF art again!" discussion thread by Nevermore (OH MY GOD Pat Lee did official TF art again!):

dull surprise, funana, narcissism, pat lee sucks, pay your talent, scraplet prime, scumbag, stay puftimus, take off ya hoser, thief, what a putz

I don't think this is normal, and it's a little...odd? Offputting? I dunno.

Anyway. I'm using Firefox 3.0, on Microsoft Windows XP Personal SP3.

Is this normal when a page loads? It does disappear after it's done loading.

Those are tags. They should appear in a box above the thread. They are user generated, whatever folks put in show up there. When you click on one of them, they should take you to a page with other threads tagged the same. The folks in those threads seem to be using it for other reasons....

However, it shouldn't disappear, so if it is, I would assume it's due to your anti virus/spam/spyware software misreading them as something negative.

Huh.

The only thing I can think of is Adblock Plus. My AV is just a basic scanner, nothing fancy.

Just thought it was odd, and that some of those tags were rude, I guess.

Thanks, Tony!

--->Note: Just realized that I wasn't specific as to where I'm seeing these. I'm seeing the tags as they should be within the threads. Where I'm seeing this mystery text is in the lists of threads themselves, in the general forum views. They show up briefly as text preceding the links, then disappears. The tags match up with the text. I can provide sceenshots, if only to prove I'm not going insane...
