Kenneth R. O.,
Here are a couple paragraphs that are replies from Chris of YT staff (found in Site Comments section in reply to others with a similar problem). I just pasted them in here for you. Hope this is helpful.
This is caused from the use of adware checking software. There is no valid way for that type of software to determine if a photo is an ad or not, so they look for keywords. The word "photoads" is one of the things it looks for. Disable your adware checker or make tractorshed.com excluded from it's checking.
Thanks, Chris
Most security software updates itself in the background. As a result, things change and you can't know it. Security software, browsers and operating systems are now changing on autopilot unfortunately.
Some adware checking software has changed it's settings and is attempting to block photos based on their filenames. That is a poor choice on their part because those who try to circumvent ads being displayed, are going to obscure their file names to prevent the adware checker from catching it.
What we do is to present the photo ad pictures in a forthright honest manner. They are ads and the filenames have always been named with "ad" in them. They just happen to be ads that the person viewing wants to see, but the security software doesn't know that.
If one is going to use software like that, you have to configure it so that when you go to a site where it gets a false positive due to it's faulty way of detecting ads, the site will still display. Usually there is some sort of exclusion list where you can put the server names in. I would put tractorshed.com and yesterdaystractors.com in the exclusion list since you know you will NEVER see an ad displayed on our site other than our own parts and manuals links or the occasional spammer who gets a post temporarily into the forums.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
