The other example I noticed:
https://www.f150forum.com/f118/facto...48088/index12/
Post # 118 has a link to Crutchfield. Reply post #123 then shows the link as Newegg and I am almost positive the original message was linking to Amazon (although maybe the op changed it). Nonetheless something is still off. I just checked from my work laptop and confirmed that I'm seeing the same issue as the mobile version.
Edit: I just looked at my post #1808 on the Forscan thread from my work laptop and confitmed it is showing the eBay link, even though when I go to edit the link it has the Amazon link. So, it doesn't seem like it's device specific from what I'm seeing.

I see the Amazon link on your post without editing it. Please tell me what you see when I post this link:

You definitely have adware installed on that machine. Look at how Bluetooth and Windows have been turned blue and underlined. That is not coming from this forum.

I'll keep an eye on it and try to do some more testing later. I'm pretty site my corporate work machine and my phone do not have any adware installed but it's certainly possible. Will keep this thread posted with anything else I find that might help.

I agree with the advice another user gave. Scan your computer with Malwarebytes. Then maybe even go a step further and scan it again with Hitman Pro. And if it was mine, I'd schedule a boot time scan with Avast.
