To be irritated with the automatic linky phrases that appear automatically on some MN posts.

[boredtodeathatwork]

Like if someone mentions something like say water bottles, the site then automatically creates a link to an MN article on the best water bottles to buy!

AIBU to be annoyed by it?!

[boredtodeathatwork]

it's just happened on my OP!

[bingbongnoise]

Lots of water bottles indeed.

[bingbongnoise]

OMG! It happened to me too!

YANBU

[bingbongnoise]

I noticed this in a few posts (links appearing,) but assumed it was people putting the links in themselves!

[DramaAlpaca]

It happened to me when I mentioned vacuum cleaner on a thread earlier. YANBU.

[DramaAlpaca]

See, it's done it again. It's very annoying.

[boredtodeathatwork]

I thought the op was linking to the actual water bottle but no it was just an MN article on water bottles.
If I keep writing water bottles will it keep linking to water bottles ?

[JoxerGoesToStuttgart]

Yep. Hate it. Take it away HQ. Me no likey.

[DragonsOnRoof]

YANBU!

Although I'm tempted to try words to see if they appear with links.

Ummm. Trainers. Gloves. Photo frame. Mirrors. Pillows.

[boredtodeathatwork]

There was supposed to be a voting thing on my OP but it's obviously not worked!

[KatewithaH]

Just noticed that with lunch box x 100 on another thread

[Mac47]

Thought my eyes had gone weird, trousers and trampolines in two different posts kept doing it. Don't like that at all!!

[boredtodeathatwork]

Pushchairs
Cots
Slings

[boredtodeathatwork]

Maybe you have to put the word in a sentence. What's the best pushchair for my little one?

[boredtodeathatwork]

What type of sling should I get?
Do you think these trousers look good on me?

[Lougle]

MNHQ try this from time to time, then they take it away again. It's affiliate links. Money making.

[DramaAlpaca]

The vote wasn't there when I first looked at the post, but it's there now. Weird.

[boredtodeathatwork]

Can't believe sling isn't a linky word on MN!

[RubaiyatOfAnyone]

Yes i noticed this (yesterday? Today?) for the first time. It was a thread about a fairly harrowing csection that went wrong and every mention of c-section got a jaunty little linky to what a c-section involved. As if anyone on that thread was slightly unclear.

Whoever implemented this - please remove it. It isn’t enhancing or useful, and it’s often just downright disrespectful out of context.

[Teacakeandalatte]

The piles of laundry one with a link to piles and constipation was brilliant 😂

[NinjaNiffler]

Just coming on to childishly contribute a word from a thread earlier...piles!

[Medicaltextbook]

Yanbu. I hadn’t noticed it, but will look a lot more carefully to see whether the writer really intends to link to trousers or water bottles.

[crankysaurus]

This is a fun game. I'd like to buy a new casserole dish as my old one exploded.

[crankysaurus]

Didn't work, try something else. Where can I buy the best dildo on the high street?
