linked words that I did not link
-
A new thing is happening that I DO NOT WANT. Some words come up as a link to some kind of advertising. How do I turn this off? PLEASE? LIke in my latest post, the word “curves” is underlined, and comes up as a weight loss ad. If I need to move to wordpress.org to not have this happen, I will. I find it offensive.

Others who had this same issue found it was caused by a browser add-on or extention. http://wafflesatnoon.com/2011/10/05/seeing-unwanted-text-enhance-ads/ Please deactivate all browser add-ons and extentions, run a full computer scan, and then log into your blog again without activating any browser add-ons or extensions and see if the links disappear or not.

Timethief, I am so grateful! It was an add on called Zemanta 1, which I never asked for and which I have not removed. Thank you!

I would also like to say thank you, timethief! I had the same problem, and the link you sent showed me exactly how to fix it. Much appreciated!

Hi! Just checking in. :)
If Zemanta somehow caused for links to be “automatically” inserted, then there must be a bug of some kind. Zemanta cant ever insert links on it’s own — we only give the user suggestions for useful links.
If anything else is happening, we’d love to know so we can fix this. :)Best,
Rok from Zemanta -
yes, the links were automatically inserted, without my permission. I will never want this service, not even suggestions for possible links. I find it intrusive.
