Autolinks : distracting, really not doing anything useful.

Any problems with the site? How can we improve KVR?

An 'autolink' feature seems to have been enabled on KVR which seems to parse people's posts for references to products, and automatically link to the KVR product page.

Its not that clever, and its inserting stupidly inappropriate and distracting links in posts that arent actually about those products.

So the reality of fire spread and thunderbolt docking stations gets a leetle bit confused....

Autolinks, gotta love them. Products related to the post never found anthing, but now Ben got it right.

PS: I don't think much can be done, suspect it's a click-monetization thing. Maybe better put them as tiles in the advertisement space.

I suppose they are easy enough to ignore but are a bit annoying.
