Ads - Has the forum been hacked?

I see ads at the bottom of every page of this forum. They haven't been there before, have they?
Has the forum been hacked or is my browser infected?

Since I'm using ad blockers I don't know, since when this ad apears. But it's not your browser.

That is good to know, thanks. I use an ad-blocker as well, which made it even stranger... Ah, seemed like i made an exception for this board, i vaguely remember something didn't work with it. Hm.
So the ads are no accident? Garvin?

I don't see any ads, nor is my pop-up blocker warning me of anything. I have viewed the site with FF, IE9, Opera & Safari.

I noticed them also on another site. Seems like a browser-extension of mine is responsible.
kleinerChemiker, you really see them too? That's how i understood
But it's not your browser.

Well, I never go out without adBlock+ etc, so I can't tell as I dont see anything unusual, Malte.

It was the "Web RSS Subscriber"-Plugin. It either got hacked or went bad. Because of adblock, I didn't see the ad on most sites.
Horrible. And really strange,
seems like the extension isn't in the webstore anymore - but if google removed it, why didn't i get a warning?
Thanks for the help.

sorry, I didn't see the ads. I looked into the html code and the code at the bottom looked like some amazon ad code
