    Every few words I see a link to Business and MBA degrees and it's nearly impossible to read a post. I cleared my cookies, restarted my comp, logged in and out, etc. and nothing has resolved the issue. Anyone else having this problem?

    I hate it too. It started when the format changed and they accepted advertising. I don't have the ads like Soup, I did something to get that crap to stop, but I still have the underlined words.

    Oh, and look. A nifty spacing feature. <eye roll> This is NOT good. Somehow there has to be a way to undo whatever is going on.

    There's a bug somewhere, it shows up as extra spaces in IE, and those annoying text links in Firefox/Chrome. Someone fix this pls o_O

    Additional note: When I first posted this message in this thread it showed normally. When I reloaded the page, it had the extra links in it. (Just in case this helps diagnose the problem.)

    Oh my, something has gone horribly wrong!

    The auto-links that wrap around certain keywords are showing up after ever single word now! Is this just me? It's like hell on the internet!

    Mine is not fixed. Did you do something to change it?

    Nope it's still broken. It started immediately after posting "it's fixed!" but my attention span is not long enough to successfully post this info because the forum requires you to wait 90 seconds and I was testing at straighterline.

    I'm afraid the plague of auto-links has not subsided. :(

    I am having the same problem and noticed it began yesterday. Glad it's not just me!

    Wow... I thought it might have just been me. I've noticed posts having links to thinks as well. I thought it was just me, because now I can go on other sites, and if I mouse over certain words, a little box pops up with the words in spanish or whatnot. It's weird.
