Hello MNHQ - a question about automatic links please?

[rhondajean]

Seems that quite a few of us are now having names of online shops come up as automatic links.

Eg(and fingers crossed these work!

Argos
Next
Marks and spencers
Wilkes
Toys r us

Can you confirm if this is a new addition to MN or are we all infected with something nasty?

Thankoo!

YY. I want ££ for any roundup/Twatter quotes
I reckon I'm worth pennies to MNHQ

Thing is, we are such a bunch of errant children sometimes MNers will just be contrary and start spelling things wrong like Bod3n, Debbenhams or Houze of Frazer.

OOOH

YEAH.

i want at least £2.76 for all the By Terry recommendations I have made on here.

And fucking Nigella Lawson can give me a cut an' all.

debenhams

jack wills

why don't mine work?

Mataland HAHA annoys the world
Asdals
Top Crap
French Correction
White Guff
Boooots

oh jock wills did

how utterly utterly odd

what a very weird thing to do.

I DO NOT APPROVE ONE BIT AT ALL

I don't find links hard to do but frequently re-post someone else's link when they've done it wrong or can't work out how. MNers are not stupid therefore I conclude the linking mechanism is unintuitive. More so from a phone of course.

Venal ... now there's a little used word, thank you getorf!

I'd love to be on a MN user panel! Oh... how would they choose?

I agree Oaty (only got your name the other night, doh!) Posters are in fact a huge resource for MNHQ. They make money from every post we make, through the books, publicity generating interst/new users etc. I was 'invited' to become a blogger for the MNblogging network as they 'valued my input on the boards' (paraphrasing there). I wonder how many users got that invitation, and have gone on to be good income generators?

I am not complaining btw, and I am a poster who advocates subscription , as I know it costs to keep these type of enterprises going well. I always paid subscription previously even if I had not intention to CAT. (And let's face it, £5 p.a. was an utter bargain to hold on to my sanity...)

yep, spell em all wrong

defeat the forces of capitalism

down with shopping

I want to stay here and spell shops wrong but have to do some bastarding work.

So how do you know if a poster has intentionally done a link vs it being a random? I would prefer to know the difference

I am leaving lists on all my posts, to compile a definitive spreadshit of live links.

Boden. Cbeebies. Abercrombie and Fitch. Katie Price. Asda. Great Plains. Netmums.

I did loads of work really early so can arse about a bit

Or at least I could if I knew any shops

Liver Island
WH Piss
Foundland

I ordered stuff from a chinese site by mistake: Aberclombie and Flitch and that is TRUFAX not racialamist
