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?!

Noticed it earlier, it’s so strange!

ThatssomebadhatHarry · 12/07/2019 21:21

Here goes:

Where sells the best cock rings and dildo’s?

TitianaTitsling · 12/07/2019 21:27

Any advice on a good mattress?

Laiste · 12/07/2019 22:02

Any jeans which fit water bottles in the pockets and look like dresses?

Laiste · 12/07/2019 22:06

Reading a long thread earlier i noticed tents was showing as a link.
And the words dresses and jeans were definitely doing it.

PITA on the royal style thread because it looks as if the poster is linking something to show you and then it's MN flogging something Hmm

Been back and noticed the linky words are gone now.

Boatsexer · 12/07/2019 22:13

Don't like this at all - it isn't clear that the links aren't from the OP which feels very deceptive.

JeSuisPrest · 12/07/2019 22:16

Where can I get a large penis beaker? Asking for a friend.😳

ParrotsForLife · 12/07/2019 22:18

I hate this.
I hate my oven dish, it’s too small.
I hate my oven tray. It’s too weak. Much like @MNHQ

Babdoc · 12/07/2019 22:21

Ah, this explains why one appeared in a post of mine earlier today. I assumed I’d clicked on something by accident, but obviously I hadn’t.
They’re bloody annoying though. How long did it take MNHQ to get rid of them last time everyone moaned?

MagneticSingularity · 12/07/2019 22:23

It happened to me today on a post I made, birth plan was my unwitting and unwilling contribution to the click count. Bloody annoying.

CaptSkippy · 12/07/2019 22:25

Oh, I wanna try this:

Butt plugs

Sadly, that doesn't work. Come one MN, what gives? I buy them all the time, I swear.

MagneticSingularity · 12/07/2019 22:26

Oh and now it doesn’t do it? Wtf MN? Is some fricking consistency too much to ask.

SurferRona · 12/07/2019 22:27

hoover

SurferRona · 12/07/2019 22:27

Yay Grin

BertieBotts · 12/07/2019 22:29

What?? Why have they done this again? They have done it before and it never gets good press. Odd indeed. I've not seen them linking to their OWN site before though :o :o :o

What about the best sausage rolls? Can we find an article for those?

GetUpAgain · 12/07/2019 22:32

Maybe it's all part of a special puzzle and will make a sentence by Christmas, the mumsnet enigma code.

What is the best washing line and has anyone been on holiday to a good hotel lately? I'd like to treat MIL to a briefcase and I am looking for a new job with pockets.

GetUpAgain · 12/07/2019 22:33

Dammit fail! Recommend a book! What's the best new family car to get? Bloody mumsnet links are by Alexa I bet...

carsleyladiessociety · 12/07/2019 22:33

Can I play please?
My hoover has a pretty impressive duck on it and I have often had the bottom of my my trousers go up the hoover. However as fabulous as it sounds I dont think even my hoover would be able to suck up a water bottle.
I've been told though that some people use the hoover as a replacement sex toy. Can anyone imagine a Henry-style vibrator?

GetUpAgain · 12/07/2019 22:34

It wont work on me Sad last attempt, Hoover.

carsleyladiessociety · 12/07/2019 22:35

Duck= suck. Cheers autocorrect

MsSweeney · 12/07/2019 22:35

Which mascara do you recommend?

boredtodeathatwork · 12/07/2019 22:38

Surely the word sling or baby carrier should have one!

MoverOfPaper · 12/07/2019 22:38

You would think school uniform would work. Or maybe cloth nappies, Tampax or gimp mask.

AhhhHereItGoes · 12/07/2019 22:39

Not doing it on app will take a. Look on mobile site.

boredtodeathatwork · 12/07/2019 22:39

Ooh it's does!

I need to buy a new child's car seat
