Tech Support (Parent and Student Access)/weird thing added to my posts 03-17-2015, 11:25 PM
Since yesterday, when I post something, this strange thing (looks like a pintrest link) shows up.  So far, I just edited the post to delete that part, but how do I make it disappear altogether?

Well. I guess it fixed itself! So, please disregard my question. Thank you!

It's a weird thing that's been happening ever since we upgraded the forum software. And it's not just happening to our forum. It seems to happening to a lot of forums. I've heard that it's a Pinterest plugin reacting with some browsers, although I don't understand that since it affects people who don't have a Pinterest account (and our forum doesn't have a Pinterest plugin!)

I had not heard of it happening to people without the Pinterest Pin It button on their browser. That is a new one!

I've been a recipient of it happening (I quoted a post and the weird link showed up in the quoted text). I don't even have a Pinterest account. But maybe the person I quoted had the button on their browser?

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned by anyone else, but I noticed it happening only if I tried previewing my post (possibly more than once?) before posting.

How come I don't know your blog?

And that is also something that has not happened to me, but I am glad it is gone.

I was getting that as well. When I removed the Pinterest Pin It button from my browser, the problem stopped.
