SkimWords, in-line linked ads? (1 Viewer)

Is this a new thing? I'm seeing random words linked in user posts. I clicked one. It said it was from "SkimWords" and took me to this page.

Yep, it's new, and they all seem to be going to Amazon links--I'm tempted to make an "Amazon must die!!" post, and see which words get highlit.

Mods, if this one's not yours, better get on it with the forum owners...

Glad to know its not just me with a virus on my computer.

Let me get to the bottom of it. I thought we were going to be testing skim links (similar to a service we have been running for a year) but not skim words. Its possible it was turned on to test and should only be seen by logged out users, but I'm not sure. Regardless its not something that will stick around for logged in users.

If anyone is still getting this when they post can you please let me know?
