It's the BB code doing that, you can stop that by changing the colour of part of it Auto_Open
In this case I changed the underscore to black , the other way is to wrap the text in plain code tags [PLAIN][/PLAIN]
Yes, it's one of the smile abbreviations: o_O =
Thanks for the solutions, maybe a more correct place for this thread is in Lounge v.2.0 for collecting such funnies
Auto_Open is a VBA event procedure name. Either used in VBA tags or used in ICODE (in-line code) tags in a sentence. I already use ICODE for any reserved word, and especially VBA code to indicate in the sentence, so I never noticed this behavior. ICODE overrides other tags, so safer to use in sentence as an inline part.
