Describing an Indy car dealer on one post and the word Indy has now popped in as a hyperlink.
To a page informing me that there are currently no Maserati Indy s for sale on pistonheads classified.
Have I accidentally switched some underdeveloped dumb system on? Or have you???
If the former please let me know how to turn it off as scrolling up on a touch screen is now like a pop up minefield.

Not sure if PH have put it there, or it's something that Taboola have done, but there's a Skimlinks script sitting under the T&C/Posting Rules links towards the bottom of the page. That's the nasty little thing that's playing with the words.

I thought this behaviour was only supposed to be visible when you aren't logged in, but it's doing it to me on that thread too. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...


ETA: ugh! it's on this page too and, in fact, on every page I look at. Bah!

If this is the new PistonHeads you really can stick it!
There's a sprinkling of highlighted words in posts which take you to car sales areas!

This site started, and most people joined, as a discussion area about cars. Now it's turning into a car sales site!

Thank god for Chew the fat and Blatters
At least they haven't sold out!

It's not just cars, almost anything! The 'shoes and watches' thread is really bad!
