the blue underlined words in the posts? Yesterday was the first time I've saw them. To me they are annoying.

Blue underline is the standard way inks appear on the web. If you click on them, it should take you to another web page with more info.

Yes I know it's the standard but I don't like them for odd words. In your post the words underlined and links are blue... now why would I need links to those? I can understand weblinks but not just random words.

that happened one time on my computer and it seemed like every noun had a link. Things got worse and it turned out the computer had picked up a bug. Had to take it to a geek to get it straightened out again.

That's really odd--all the text in my post should be whatever the default color is in your web browser. I didn't do anything to make them appear differently. Perhaps it has to do with the web browser (or some sort of malware that has attached itself to it) you are viewing it with. Does anyone else see colored words in my post?

I have only seen links high lighted. No words being underlined from what I've seen.

It's only on this website that I get them. If no one else is seeing them then I guess it's a problem with my computer.

I'm going to run a full scan and see if that finds anything. Thanks everyone.
