    Default Text link ads in post not by user?

    I just noticed something in a post I just made:

    http://community.comicbookresources....=1#post2466810

    Some of the words such as Barnes & Noble and John Lewis sometimes have links attached to them that lead to retailers' sites. But I did not add any links to the text. And when I look at the edit page of the post, there is no URL code. I then did a text edit and added a listing of various retailers and a few like Amazon added links to their perspective websites. I then checked in a couple different browsers and my phone, and links sometimes showed up.

    Has a plug-in such as Text Link Ads Inlinks Product or Skimlinks / Skimwords been added to the forum?

    I've attached a screen shot of the post and the edit screen.

    Yes, the forum software will sometimes automatically add links like that.
