I'm been wondering why this occurs... is this a bug or a "feature"? I've seen this on multiple occasions, anyone else?
For example, I recently replied to a thread where the OP wanted to convert analog video to a data stream using Ethernet (thread link below).

If you view the post without logging in, the model number of the video encoder I mentioned shows as a link to a Digi-Key serach page. I can guarantee that I didn't place any links in that post and as it turns out, Digi-Key isn't even a distributor of that manufacturer's products.
Interestingly, when the post is viewed after logging in, the model number does not show as a link.
