Funny, I was sitting here staring at your message and mine and simply be underlined itself.  I think it's on the server.  Hybridz had the problem a while ago, bit other sites didn't.  This site loads a lot of stuff, it takes much longer than other pages to finally finish and allow interaction.

Site must be hacked I think. @Mike

No we aren't hacked...

 It might be part of the advertising portion of the forum software.  It looks like it is checking if two words combined are an actual URL.  In this case, "simply be" is a real URL, www.simplybe.com is a plus size  clothing site. 

Yes, I am running a back end software that scans the site for keywords and provides links to external sites.  It's not perfect, but, it can be helpful.  In this case, it didn't work all that great.. lol.  (unless one of you wants to buy products from them -- by all means please click on it)    It brings in about $70/mo to help me pay for server costs.

Yes but it only just occurred. 

The service is called Skimlinks and works within just a few minutes.

Funny, we used to worry about "cookies" being used to track which web sites we visited.  "Invasion of privacy!!!" 

But they're actually tracking every word we write.  NSA, CIA, Google,  Russia...pretty incredible stuff.

Then some nut kills a bunch of kids and was all over the internet but didn't get noticed.

Information overload is what I think.  How in the world can they read all of what we type?

They don't! They have algorithms that do it and build a profile on you. I bet your FBI file would be lots of fun to read!!!! 

The guy that lives 25' from me is an agent and surely has read my background. His three kids love me to death, wife super friendly. The agent, not too friendly but I have a key to his house and he has one for mine. 

So yes it has some flags but they're outnumbered.
