    Default Wiki links not always underlined.

    When I view this thread in Chrome 18.0.1025.162, the wiki links exist but do not appear underlined. In other threads, I see the links just fine.

    FS ETC SENSOR Dimmer Racks
    Have 2 units. Both working pulled from functioning theatre. They are 2.4kw cards, 24 channel. All function. PM me for info.

    The only wiki'd parts are in the title? Edit: Nope, how all are underlined. Hmm...

    This has been a problem since the 2/12/2012 update. Bug Reports for 2/12/2012 upgrade

    Testing a workaround...

    If, after posting, you notice that some of the terms you know should be underlined (because you were careful to use those specific terms in your post) are not, click <Edit Post> then <Save> without actually making any changes. Do the terms now have the dotted yellow underline?

    polarity, polarity reverse, polarized, poll, polyester round sling, polyurethane, etc.

    EDIT: Well, it didn't work here, but did in another post.
    EDIT2: Okay, it did work here, on the second edit. Maybe some time has to elapse before this works reliably.

    Same list copied from above, this time with no subsequent edits.

    polarity, polarity reverse, polarized, poll, polyester round sling, polyurethane, etc.

    Underlines were there in the Preview ("If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage."). But are they here now?

    I have been noticing that the last line of a forum post tends to cut off the bottom few pixels of the text. This is apparent in "g", "p", and "y" characters. As the wiki link indicates below this line, perhaps this could be a potential cause?

    [EDIT: Perhaps only when saved with showing signature]

    This post is interesting: underlining of Dimmer, Phase Control breaks with the line wrap. .

    For me, they both break when the window is small enough, and unless all four words are on the same line, none get underlines.

    Since the usage of tapatalk has exploded on CB, please let me know if you are viewing using the site in a desktop browser, a mobile browser, or an app, like tapatalk.

    I'm still trying to figure this oddball bug out.

    Derek's two posts above have links in the first, but not in the second. But "me" gets linked everywhere it is used in Tapatalk HD.

    When quoted on Tapatalk, the dimmer, phase control gets split into dimmer, phase <br /> control, and only phase is linked.

    On Mobile Safari, all of the links in Dereks two posts link and underline correctly.

    Everything links correctly on Safari 5.2, Firefoxe 12.0, and Chrome 19.0.1084.46 (Mac OS 10.8) in Derek's posts, regardless of the window size.

    So now, all of the old posts work correctly.

    EDIT:
    But, a new(ish) post ("Has anybody used these amps "#6) does not underline (but still links to) company switch in every browser except Mobile Safari. Tapatalk has the normal link.

    EDIT 2:
    Company switch up above does not have a link after the first edit.

    EDIT 3:
    But does after the third.

    See this post and this post. In both cases, the auto-underline decided to happen on the SECOND occurrence of the term PARNel, rather than the first. Odd.
