NAM adding hyperlinks in replies?
I noticed that starting today, many posts get advertising hyperlinks added....
Some of the adds are competing sites...lol..like mini tourqe, etc...kinda funny...
Is this advertising ON THIS SITE, or do I have an issue with chrome?!
Pretty sure its not chrome.... But linking to eBay adds when I type water pump, etc in a post makes it look like I AM ENDORSING AN SITE or sending folks there...
Tires...goes to Walmart through the link....

I would be pissed if I was a vendor paying this site and they started auto hyperlinking to competing sites...like Amazon, eBay, or rockauto...

I never see any ads with AdBlock using Chrome. It blocked 10 ads on this page alone. :D
