Default Quilt, quilts

Could you explain why the words quilt or quilts are turning green when I submit a thread? I'm sure I've heard others saying something about this.

Are you running any type of Adblocker?? I don't see any ads or anything out of the ordinary. I believe that our monitor QuiltnNan has it running on her computer.

I use Google with AdBlocker and still see the words in green. I ignore it.

I also have ad blocker but recently see the words like quilt and anything related show up in green.... if you hover your cursor over it, it says it has been added by Viglink .... I have no idea what that means, but hope it isn't something else we need to be concerned about.

Hmmmm.... doing a google search on VigLink does indicate it may be a money generator.

I think because this is the Quilting Board any word associated with it will be highlighted I do not worry about it
