The Kitchen Table

Underlined GREEN words in posts

12 years ago

Can someone please remind me how to get rid of those annoying things? It has been a couple of years since I have seen them on any of the computers but today they are popping up after an scheduled update that happened this morning. I had been on the computer before the update, left when it started and now they are showing in almost every post, sometimes even two or three words....tia

I wish this forum had the ability to use those simple enhancements. Sometimes I want to italicize or underline. I've tried to learn it but my brain doesn't retain that stuff unless I did it all the time. Just too many steps and the whole thing takes too long. I think typing on Word would be faster. At my age I am short of memory & patience! I use FF and don't worry about spelling as it always underlines. Even with that, I still spell wrong because I hit the submit button without proof reading. I'm always rushing. But back to the original question: Would Word work for using those symbols? I would us it rarely, but would like to occasionally. Jane

I tried all of the above earlier and nothing worked. Then I saw loves2cook4six's instructions in her new thread, tried it word for word, and no more annoying green monsters!! Seriously, try it. It works. Here is a link that might be useful: Ugly Green Hyperlinks - GONE!

I don't have those either, and I use Chrome.

You know, if make a post, below the Preview Message, there's a "Click HERE to learn more about in-text links on this page" from GardenWeb. This will tell you how to get rid of them, I'm sure.

Thanks, I knew I could count on someone here. I am an old diehard IE user that keeps up to date with it running windows 7 at the moment. I also have firefox but prefer IE. Knock on wood I do not have the problems some here seem to have with ads, popups, and other annoying things. PS bookmarked that site to get rid of the pest!!
