Why are hyperlinks appearing in my messages?

[AlexanderHamilton]

I assume it's a money/commission thing as it links to either a website or a link to buy but it's very annoying & I don't like it.

Hi AlexanderHamilton,

These are skimlinks, which we are testing out. More about this here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2845367-Skimlinks-on-Talk

Do keep an eye on this thread, as this is where we will be posting all updates.
