Why Is Everything Underline?

Am I the only one seeing the link to every thread as underlined?

I thought it was my web browser's fault. I guess not.

... and I was SURE it was, on the basis of my being the only person who suffers from the ING advert (see elsewhere).

I could never figure out why inks are underlined as a default anyway! Maybe for some with color disability.

However, I hope this software glitch with FT gets fixed soon!

If you read the posts in the link above, it isnt a software glitch but a deliberate change in setting. If you have an opinion on this you want heard, please post in that thread.

We set the style back to no underlines. There's not a straightforward way to turn on link underlining for just "inside the thread" posts without either extensively altering the source code (which then can cause problems in future upgrades or troubleshooting), or making alterations to all the style settings that aren't related to inside thread posts - which was what we were trying to do, but it just wasn't working as well as we would have liked.
