Link to amazon product page, copy-pasted from URL bar directly into the post (i.e. not as "media", "image", or "link")

same page as "insert link" if I don't type in the text:

Behind door number 3: sexy trucker -- same as above: "insert link", but with "sexy trucker" typed into "text"

and the most $#@!ing annoying one: after switching to bbcode editor, typing in the url tag by hand, pasting the link, and typing in the closing tag:

I was having issues with disappearing Amazon links, and realized adblock on chrome was the problem. Think it had to do with upgrade changes, don't recall it being a problem before. Turned off adblocker and all is well.

What is the weirdness? All 4 links above work and look fine to me.

When you use a URL in your post, the RIM (Random Intelligence Module) tries to change it into something more visually interesting. I hope it's not too $#@!ing annoying for you...

Ah, so it's a RIM job, then. Got it.

Actually, seeing how the result is not what I wrote and not what I intended to post, I would very much appreciate it if it also removed my name from the post and signed it "RIM".

IOW it's more than annoying, it shouldn't be legal.

@dmaziuk more importantly why do you need so many signs to tell us that you got huge balls?

 

[dmaziuk]

It's not me, it's my favourite amazon product: the huge blue balls to hang off the hitch bar. Closely followed by truck horns and the roof-mounted extra large American flag.

If only I could find a '59 El Camino for a reasonable price to put them on...
