I found some orange colored words in some of the news posts that take one off site are those supposed to be there? (5/30/12) (on keywords like earn, empire, game, etc.)

Hey Jeru,
This sounds like the display you get after using the search function on multiple words.
Could be someone using the search function and then using the URL of the search result (URL contains the search terms).

Any specific topic where this is happening?

An update: I think its my computer but i'm not sure. I visit other forums as well and some words on those started to do the same thing, orange color words that linked up to some other site it even happens to posts made by other people. So if it's not happening to you then it must be my computer. It happens seemingly at random to different words like availible now, earn, etc.

Nope, have no need for it. However on my screen the word is now orange meaning a link. Will talk to some wise computer guru here in a day or two.

Couldn't it be a plugin adding some sort of advertising to your browser?
