Not sure where to report this, but in several threads today, I've seen an artist name turned into a link to Amazon.com. Including a post I made in the thread ""Bad" music?" in General Music Discussion. I did not put the link in there. It seems to be happening with the names of well-known, non-prog artists. I'm running Mozilla Firefox if that helps. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L. Mencken |

This is happening to me today too! I've been logged in and it just started randomly happening right now. It hasn't before.

Found this in the net: http://www.macworld.co.uk/forums/msgs.cfm?msg=124193&forum=4 - http://www.macworld.co.uk/forums/msgs.cfm?msg=124193&forum=4 These skimlink links look like if they were included by the posters, instead it is done by a program. The reader cannot differentiate, if the link really is from the poster or not. So good it is removed from this forum.  |
