If I type AMNPS, or MES 30, and probably others, they turn into links automatically.
That is SO COOL!

Great fix Administrators!

Thank You!
 
Sure it's not adware or some type of virus ?
 
AMPNZ
MES77

MES30, AMNPS

In this one it seems to have stopped.
But it works in your first post.
 
Not enabled links for me , just wondering if it shows up as enabled on your pc , might be something runnin on your machine .
 
Might be. I know I post a lot of links embedded so people can choose to click and go or not.
Maybe I got cooties from it?
Strange.
Think I'll empty my cookies. Maybe there's some crumbs in there. :emoji_laughing:

Thanks Chopsaw!
 
I get sent to an Amazon page. Selling the item typed.

I dont see the links.
 
This is a common feature in many forums and was added here in SMF when they changed the forum software a year ago.

I'm actually not a fan of the feature and have had it cause problems in other forums when it inserts a link within a link. Not sure if that happens in this forum.
 
I dont see the links.

I'm using Google Chrome as my browser.
They still appear in BOLD for me. And still pop Amazon pages.
Interesting.
I did dump my cookies, but no apparent change here.

I kind of thought it was interesting and cool. Thought it was something automatic added lately.

Chopsaw's post (#2) works as well. Must be something here, and at Chris' computer.

If I right click on the linked text, I get this:
https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/amnps/
And this:
https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/masterbuilt30/

Same landing zone, a page on Amazon. Except the MES30 drops me on a MES40 amazon page.

Chris

Edit: except when I click on the link in your post it goes directly to the MES page.
 
Looks like the guys that have premier membership don't see it . Maybe ?
 
I get the links as bold text, too, but rarely follow them. If it isn't happening for everyone then maybe it is some browser setting. I'm on Google Chrome.
 
Is the text under lined ? If so I believe that is some type of adware . Like I said in post 17 , looks like the guys that can turn off ads aren't seeing it .
 
Premier members do not see the links for MES,WSM etc.
If you log out they will show
