In post 13 above, the word gauges was blue yesterday. It responded to the curser and when I clicked it, I was taken to Amazon.
It is not blue now and does not respond.

I don't know the terminology or how it occurs, but somehow it's a way advertisers find key words in posts to lead readers to shopping links. A form of 'click bait'. Surely someone else here can explain it better, but that's the gist of it. It's not something a thread poster does themselves. I think these types of things are filtered out if you are a supporter.
