I believe if you type your posts in bold the links will not come up. At least it works for me on my Mac.
More fun facts. if you put a smiley in your post, even if it is in bold, it will cause the tag things to come back. Hi there!
It's amusing, and somewhat awe-inspiring to see so many people having trouble psychologically adjusting to a day without DegreeInfo. Have no fear, the last time this happened, it took Chip 2 seconds to fix. The issue seems to be that Chip has not logged in today. Does anyone have his email address?
BTW, it also works if you type in a font size. So make your font size the normal size (I think 3, but I can't tell on my BlackBerry) and your post will look normal
Hmmm Bazonkers, sorry, on my phone, I can't tell what size equals the default. You can make it smaller, as you can see here
