Links being added to posts
Just had an issue with a post adding links on it own to my posting. It happened here:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1600690271
When I first put up the response the words “exhaust manifold” would come up underlined in the post. Clicked on it and it took me to an eBay search for exhaust manifolds.
I waited awhile and went back in and was able to delete it and renter and that one was okay. But then the phrase “engine accessories” is taking me to an Amazon listing for engine accessories.
Is there a Firum issue or have I been hacked?

Normally, the underlined links are only shown to Guests (not logged in). You cannot control what is and isn't linked. It's part of the software used as part of the advertising for revenue.
