This is weird. It is happening on my computer with Firefox. It doesn't occur with Chrome or IE. It doesn't happen with Firefox on my Linux computer. When I copy the comment the link doesn't copy. I did a screen capture and cannot insert the picture into this message. My page is

(REMOVED)

Any ideas would be appreciated.

It's not a guestbook problem. The same thing is occurring on other sites. I shall look for another solution.
Sorry for taking up your time.

In this case you probably have a virus or adware installed.

I would recommend scanning your computer with an up to date antivirus and adware removing software (such as malwarebytes.org ).

Or maybe it is a Firefox add-on that is installed which has this function.
I know for example that there is an extension that will automatically turn e-mail addresses and url's clickable (like linkification or LinkWalker).

I do not monitor the Gbook forums regularly anymore since I do not use the Gbook script myself anymore for a long time. But it helped me a lot in learning to understand php.

Actually the links appear to be advertising SPAM (I removed them from his post)
