I just noticed the links on this site for the first time tonight. If they bug you as much as they do me, hit that link and opt out. Just sayin'

I haven't noticed any, but I use Tapatalk almost all the time for forums. Are these advertising links?
Yep. I was previewing a post and the word "firearm" was a link in the preview, but there were no URL tags in the edit box. I clicked on a "holster" link and it took me to a Wal-Mart page selling a holster purse. You can hover over links to tell if they're VigLinks or real links inserted by the author of the post, but, bleh.

I'm guessing the new site owners added this recently to raise revenue.

Ok, I just saw this for the first time on my lappy top. I replied to a post, and it created a link in the words that I used. I did not create the link. The words I used were "Front Sight". It made that a clickable link to Brownell's. I had to go to the link provided in the OP to get it to go away. :disgusted:

I use "Ghostery" on my browsers to block tracking and funny stuff like that.
