"Text enhance"

Oh please filter the "Text Enhance" links to remove the "sex" dating links. Oh crap, the "dating" word in my post has a link now "Looking for sexy fun?".

J.R.

And your not so inclined?

Does anyone else see these "text enhanced" links?

Not me.

I can't find the thread where JR first started talking about that. If he's talking about the three ads at the top and three on the bottom that are just hyperlinks with teasers after them, then I see them.

The ones on this page were all about Obama.

I have no clue.

No, a text enhanced link is where it takes text in your post and turns it into an ad.

Turns it into an ad like, generates a picture or makes a word a link? I've seen that happen when I'm lurking but never when I'm signed in (and maybe not lately...)

It makes a word into a link usually with a double underline, so your post the word "ad" could be turned into a link with two underlines then an ad pops up when you mouse over it.

Yeah okay. I've only seen that when I wasn't logged in. It might only be on certain browsers too.

I've never seen them here

I don't.

Could JR have some browser extension or malware that is generating these?

Yup. A quick Google search indicates this is a fairly common piece of malware.

JR, these links are not coming from TFS. They are coming from a piece of software installed on your computer. Looks like it comes in the form of a simple browser add-on. Disable it.

Yeah, I don't see any of these very often. Every now and then (read - once per month) I'll see someone's post with those.

If anyone sees one, get a screenshot with your mouse hovering over it.
