Re: Strange link

Hi Ivan,
I did really little. It was you that brought it to my attention.
I asked the question on the forumotion forum. It was they who gave me the remedy, which I followed.

I had never noticed it before, but to be honest I would never have seen it if I had not changed the link colours to distinguish them from ordinary text.

But as they say, all's well that ends well.

Hi Harry,
the pages really look "clean" now. You did a good job!

Hi Ivan,
I think you will find that it has been sorted out. It is some sort of default setting to add advertising to guests.
I was shown how to switch it OFF.

Done!

Try now Very Happy

Hi Harry,
you are right. It really may be the price of a "free" service.

Hello Ivan,
I do not think it is abuse by a third party. I believe that it is the forum service provider.
Unregistered guests see the links, but registered users do not see the links.

As you can see, it is also built into the operating code of the forum.

I do not pay for this forum, so I guess this is the price of "free".

I have NOT added nothing to create this...

Hi Harry,
YES, it is exactly that effect. I am pretty sure you did not intend to create it. It looks like someone abuses this forum to spread spam!

Hi Ivan,
I am supposed to be unpacking all our boxes - but Maj-Lis is downstairs and I am upstairs near the computer Cool

I think I see the effect you are talking about. Is it in this picture where every occurrence of "wire", "receiver output" and "small speaker" seem to have become a link to a firm that sell warehouse shelving (Link added by VigLink)?

I have NOT added nothing to create this and I wonder if it is something baked in by Forumotion? I will ask them. The banners I can understand, but false links in text is a bit naughty.

Hi Harry,
I doubt it has to do with my ISP, which is O2CZ. If it were so, they would probably insert links to e-shops from the .cz domain. I have not seen such ones.
It probably is not an issue with the browser, too. MS Edge and Firefox behave exactly the same way.

Hi Ivan,
To be honest I have not seen this at all, and I have logged in as a guest.
Could the ads be something to do with your own ISP?

I have deliberately changed some links, but you will never see them unless you post foul language or text/links based on previous SPAM messages. In all cases the modified link is www.sm0vpo.com.

I wonder is anyone else has this problem?

Hi Harry,
I found, that some words on this forum are turned into links when I am not logged in (i.e. I am a guest). The hint at these links says "Link added by VigLink". If I click it, it transfers me to e-bay or a silly e-shop with furniture. I hope it does not install a virus into my system at the same time.
I have never seen it before. It probably does not appear when a member is logged in. Is it O.K.?

Look at this printscreen. VBR from Ivan
