Thanks.  |
It is a feature of the software that helps to optimize the forums in Google and other search engines. It spells out the abbreviation for the search engine while still keeping it in its original form. It does it for
SL and
SLU. I think I can turn off the underline though so it isn't noticeable at all, I'll have to check.
Edit: I removed the underline, though it still will show a popup if you move over it. It turned out to be a little tricky to turn off - I thought it was a normal underline like a link, but it turns out that it was a dotted border. I'm sure that is more than you wanted to know.
