    A 1st for me .
    don't understand why today I have words in blue highlight in Posts in several Threads .
    & when you Clik on the blue-highlighted words in all the thread Posts . it takes you strait to Amazon.com ???

    Where the hell did these things come from ?

    You likely have a hijacker virus of some sort that highlights words that relate to stuff you're looking for, then you click on the link and if you buy it from Amazon then they make money. It's you, not the site.

    Dont know ?
    I never buy or go on amazon & the Ol'lady said she has not bought off them for months .

    <span style="font-weight: bold">I ONLY frequent 2 web-forums</span> & the other is not doing it . I go on nothing else & have never in my life done any social networking except for 2 websites .

    I did 2 complete computer scans & cleaned-out all cookies & links twice & it is still on this site only .
    <span style="font-weight: bold">( & only on this site )</span> & nothing else on the computer .
    & my Viral/cookie/spider etc. scans & clean-outs does not catch it ?
    Plus my auto-scan goes threw it twice a day .

    OK (hopefully) not doing it now . The highlighted word-links were even in the Thread Titles .

    Started this morning . It was on the site when I would go on it & highlight words as Links to amazon .
    then only Highlight link/words when I would Log-in .
    & now it has stopped with the ( random ) word linking .

    FUCK Amazon.com . will never spend a dime on that fucking trash cesspool of garbage .
