Has anyone else noticed recently that when a post sentence ends in 'it', the word sometimes appears as a web link to nowhere?

Can anyone explain it? Or it.

The latter Paul. See my post in response to the blocked fuel drain.

I've noticed it in quite a few posts over the past week or so. Could be some Bitcoin mining going on or something.

It doesn't do that when I look at it. Maybe it is just your browser. What are you using? Try a different browser and see if it does the same. Presumably it think it is an italian web address.

Ian.g’s post above gives what Nick describes on my i-pad and phone....not tried on the PC yet

Perhaps it us just the “it” “full stop” that confuses things.....but yes, only something that has appeared in the last couple of days.

Maybe Rob can have a look?

I was wondering if it was just me. I'm using Safari on an iMac. I'll try something else as you suggest.

Ah, just seen Paul's post.

Agree with your observations Nick but I also am a Mac user so maybe unique to Safari?

It's the browser. Using my PC and Firefox or MS Edge doesn't do it. My iPad using Safari does. So it's Apple messing things up for you!

Interesting! So it's on Mac OS and IOS but not Microslop. The plot thickens.
