Certain Key Words are being linked against my will
Just noticed when I typed the word tires, or maybe tire (not sure which it was) in another thread reply - the word itself was linked to some type of tire buying website... I did not create the hyperlink
Here is that thread https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...-326874/page2/
(Edit: I just went back to the thread, and my old linked word has disappeared?? however the OP has a link for "rear driveshaft" in his sig that appears to have a similar type of shopping link attached to it)
Is this an issue with my PC, with a setting on the forum I have changed, have any ideas how to prevent this from happening??
Let's see if I can replicate it here: Tire tire Tires tires
Thanks!

You don't have some browser tool installed that is doing this without you realizing it?
Check your browser extensions and turn off / uninstall anything you don't recognize. You'd be amazed at how much crap gets installed when we click NEXT all the time without reading each of those screen.
