Has anyone else noticed some unusual links appearing at random since the update? I had someone mention Pirates of the Caribbean and EBay in a PM this evening and both of those had links pointing to EBay, even though there was no link code in the PM. When I scroll over the links, it says "Link added by VigLink".

Edit: They are in my post now?!?
 
*DUM DUM DUM*


ebay

walmart

target

the haunted mansion

pirates of the caribbean

hotels

Yep, I will say it's kind of annoying. Any way of getting rid of this?

This was something that happened with the new forum upgrade; it was a monetization plugin we added, and unfortunately, it came with contextual links "on" by default -- meaning whenever a related term/keyword was used in a post, it would automatically link to that site.

Personally, I'm not a fan of it either, and generally dislike when forums/other sites have used it because it makes posts awkward to read with so much linking going on, so i've disabled it.

thanks!
