Hmm, interesting, in one of the browsers I employ the words "work out" are blue colored underlined hypertext link which goes to workout equipment on Walmart's website, but on the other they are plain black text.

Instead of hovering pointer over link to see where it went, I expected it was put in by Murph to go to a post somewhere telling about the specific parts he needed to see; but, what it was was crass commercialism. Oh how I loathe and resent the deceptive souls who pulled that little stunt - who were they, my ISP? The website server owners? The Paper Models forum owners themselves?

Ahh, now I see ...

Because I have autism and several neurological and endocrine things going on I run several blockers, and especially a GIF blocker, (those accursed flashy flickery things are truly the unholy spawn of Hades) to cut down on the number of things happening on web pages, or the pages would be sensory overload and I could not use most websites.
Yeah, who would have guessed that different company's browsers would have differently detailed add ons.
So, one is blocking VigLink and one is not.

Here's full text of that link: and hovering over it turns out to tell you nothing after all because its true destination is buried so far down such a mass of character salad it is too far down the line to show in display at bottom of windows.


Edit - interesting how the thing refuses to display the full 5-line length of that link - so, the deception continues, eh?
