So yea. I noticed on a couple of occasions that my post replies will have a random link attached to my post. One I recall from last week I mentioned "ebay" and when I submitted the post, the word "ebay" was in blue and clickable. When clicked I was sent to ebay. I go to "edit post" to see if a code was written, but there was none

Heres another example in this thread:

I mentioned brake pedal, and brake pedal linked to ebay brake pedals

I've seen it every now and then. It's one of Internet brands advertising components that I don't believe should be enabled on CL. Like you when I've seen it, it goes away pretty quickly.

I think it's only supposed to happen when browsing not logged in

This morning I've had a whole series of new links appear; it looks like they're back. A link is even turning up in my sig . . . man, that's cold. Resetting my ad-blocker, I tried posting using the word "car" several times. The word was linked the first two times, but did not link again. It must be counting.
