Well the i word is a link in my post, and all of the other post's that said it was not a link also. Unfortunately the p word did not link. :mad:

No links in my browser.

FWIW...look at the page source code for the original post and look at line 1144...see the word "autolink"
The script is hard coded into the forum software (likely a part of google advertising applications)
I would call it invasive, not necessarily malicious...but then again anything that google (and accepted third party apps) does is invasive...
Sorry, I should have been more clear.
The Kubota hotlinking is part of the forum software (which you can turn off from preferences), the bitcoin hotlinking is not and is probably a malicious extension as Steve is the only one seeing it.

Roger that...my point was the "autolink" script is present in the source ...the others (bitcoin etc.) are not...

I'm pretty sure I have seen something in settings that allows you to turn this kind of thing on or off. Maybe not site originated ones but I do recall something asking if I wanted this on or off when I set up the computer.

Its probably a malicious extension, can you post a screenshot of the installed extensions?


Aaron Z

Is this what you want to see?

It was an ad setting. Should be gone now, with the exception of a few tractor specific terms like Kubota, Deere, etc.

I still say we should all invest in pallets! :)
 
   / Is this supposed to happen? #31  
It is most assuredly NOT gone!.

Now I run back thru the post, including the one I just posted and it IS gone. But I noticed the word bitcoin was turned into a link in Steve's post. Lets see what happens here... invest bitcoin
 
   / Is this supposed to happen? #33  
bitcoin still links but invest does not.
 
   / Is this supposed to happen? #34  
now both are gone. I don't get it.

Refresh. I disabled the code, it might be loading from cache/history.

I shutdown my Chromebook for an update. After restarting, the invest link has disappeared from my original message, but the bitcoin link remains.:confused3:

EDIT Oh no!!!! The invest link has now reappeared in post #1 and this post.:shocked:

EDIT 2. It's disappeared again. I'm beginning to think the i***** word is associated with quantum physics -- observation changes its behavior.

It is most assuredly NOT gone!.

Now I run back thru the post, including the one I just posted and it IS gone. But I noticed the word bitcoin was turned into a link in Steve's post. Lets see what happens here... invest bitcoin

bitcoin still links but invest does not.

now both are gone. I don't get it.

James,

Remain calm -- I think that "invest" and "bitcoin" are "quantum" words.:)

I'm still curious as to why only a few of us saw the links.

Let us invest in pallets.

James,

One of my business associates, a Nigerian prince, is a general partner in a limited partnership that invests in pallets. He will be sending you an e-mail giving you directions as to where you should send your money to become a limited partner.:)
