"Shopping Link Added by Skimwords"

[Cinnamoncookie]

What fresh hell is this ? I typed Iphone in a message on here and it changed it to a link to Amazon.

Me no likey, please make it go away

Oh is that what it is? It's irritating.

It's on the desktop site on my iphone but not the mobile site, and not on the desktop on my laptop because of my ad blocker I think

I can remember it happening before - it wasn't MNHQ's fault iirc

I really don't like this. I have had one of these links come up in my posts. It looks like I have created that link and am suggesting people buy whatever it was at the end of an amazon link.

It's the suggestion it is from the poster rather than advertising that I hate most.

Def do not like this.

Same sentiment here WaffleWiffle.

Surely mn would have a death wish to have done this on purpose?! It's totally beyond the pail.

This happened ages ago, nothing to do with MN iirc.

It is your internet browser, google how to get rid of them. I think it was an add on doing it last time.

It's affecting a number of posters and there's also comment on thus thread in chat

It would be handy if you could bother Tech (as soon as morning has ensured full alertness) if something has naughtily hijacked something in MN (thus hitting plural users at the same time) or if it is coincidence that it's sprung up like this.

This is driving me crazy and has never been an issue before for me. THe one that made me laugh is the one about the Christmas grotto at Harrods. It is just one massive ad for Harrods!

I've just seen a horrendously inappropriate one here the poor poster is saying today would have been her friend's big birthday and it has turned it into a link o a flaming pink bracelet on Amazon.

I wondered if this was happening yesterday in a tread about Asda.
