I just wrote something about tyres here and it turned my word 'e b a y' into a LINK!?!

WTF? I didn't do that! Is this going to turn into one of those forums where every other word is a link to some shite you never wanted to advertise look at in the first place?

What is going on??????? Shock

Coming and going for me too.
And mn keeps crashing so several of my attempts to post on this thread havent appeared at all.

MN has been really slow for me too in the last week.
So slow this evening in fact that Im going somewhere else.

MN honestly I know I sound like a boring old maid when I say this but truly MN was better before you insisted on continually tinkering with it.

I dont want my posts/ops liked on facebook. I dont want a mumnset academy, I dont want to be quoted in the daily papers and neither do I want to have my words turned into advertisements. :(

There are other forums y'know where such things dont happen and not for the first time Im considering switching allegiance!

I read the other thread and Justine has calmly said it's a revenue generating thing.

I want to scream

Hmmm can't see any links on any posts at all here.

MN is slow loading ssl.gstatic.com whatever that is, can't be an ad as I have them blocked

and the LAST thing I want to do is advertise sodding eb ay. Angry I might mention it reluctantly from time to time, even suggest it, but there's no way I want to promote it.

That's not the same at all.

eBay Boden M&S?

I think I am link free...

Amazon John Lewis

No, eBay is linking. MNHQ can you explain please?

RoomForASmallOne · 03/10/2012 21:31

Wonga one has appeared on my desktop now but not the others.

Annoying.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 03/10/2012 21:30

I agree - please don't make this mandatory.

It's crap

RoomForASmallOne · 03/10/2012 21:30

The links appear on my laptop but not my desktop Confused

Very annoying and quite cheeky , MNHQ should have an opt out.

Is this what's been slowing down the entire site for several nights now?

Weirdly, every time I refresh this page the links in other people's posts come and go.

EdMcDunnough · 03/10/2012 21:25

seems a bit random doesn't it.

I don't have anything checked - I've been here nearly 6 years and can do links myself quite quickly if I want to.

It's when I don't want to that it bothers me.

This is shite, sorry MNHQ but it really is. Sad please at least can we have an opt out?

JollyToddler · 03/10/2012 21:15

I haven't spotted any of these. And I can't click on Boden in the fromheretomaternity 21:12 posts. Can you guys? Maybe it's your Internet software?
