Original poster

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

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?!

Didn't work either. Is it only water bottles it works with?

Awwww Sad

The link doesn’t show up when you preview post. (I just tested using trousers and preview.) I don’t mind obvious advertising or sponsored threads but this is misleading. It may look like the poster is connected to MN and endorses the link. there is nothing we can do to avoid triggering it.

I noticed dresses earlier...

Marmite27 · 12/07/2019 21:06

But it hasn’t done it, maybe dress ?

Withnailandaye · 12/07/2019 21:11

PolkadotLollipop · 12/07/2019 21:12
