 Topic: orange links ??
Posted: 29 Jul 2017 at 6:16am |

OK, I'm curious.
Am I the only one that gets random orange coloured words ,in posts here, that are actually links to various websites ?
Happens in both this forum and the politcal one for sure...
Since they're in the posts has the site been 'compromised' ?

I've noticed them over the last few weeks also. First time was in a post I did and thought I somehow did something to cause it but now I see it all over.

I noticed somebody else had that going on in the Classifieds. Maybe some kind of virus Jay?

I'm thinking it's this forum not my PC, especially since others are seeing it...
and I don't see them on otherplaces I go to.
Hopefully Darrin will have a look-see.

Its the forum, not your PC. It's a small way for Darin to monitize the site a bit. He hosts the forum on his business PCs pays for the bandwidth on his dime. He has had the opportunity in the past to make a nice profit, but has opted to pass to keep it more focused on the AC community.

Thanks for the information. Happy it's on purpose and not some hacker malware thing !!
I did notice the word 'political' in my post is now orange and a box comes up says 'Link added by VigLink' and at the bottom of my screen I can see the URL( where it will go to).

I see the words in orange, too. My PC is an Apple if that means anything.
