Note the Date in Kelmans Join Date is green and underlined I have never see this before, so I clicked on it and it takes you to a cheesy speed dating site.... What the hell??

Holly crap now they are popping up all over the place including in this post... is ehMac going under some sort of SPAM attack...

Never mind... I figured it out... It was a plug in in Firefox gone haywire. I removed it and all is good and back to normal now.

General rule: If there is a Double Underline in a link, it is usually a link applied to the web page by a browser or a plugin, not from the website itself. Those uber-annoying "definition" links that highlight key words and take you to advertising sites are one example.
