    Question Random Hyperlinks

    I was just wondering if anybody has noticed the random hyperlinking? Its been happening here on the site, these past few days. I type a word and when it posts it turns to a green hyperlink, and I never noticed it before. Yesterday I typed the word "hurts" and it linked me to hertz rental cars. Anybody else noticing this? I dont think I'm doing nothing wrong, but I could have a setting messed up, idk!

    I've seen it too. It's on YouTube as well. It says it's something called Text Enhance. I haven't looked into it but in your post "green" and "rental cars" are hyperlinked.

    I'm on a tablet now, but it happens on my laptop too, I just started seeing it recently though. I haven't changed any Internet settings so I guess it's automatic.

    It's called "infolinks" and it is a form of advertising used by websites. It's harmless.

    ...and I thought it was just happening to me. Glad I'm not alone on this one.
