Default Why ?

Silly question ........... And is probably SIAL or SIAH ( Idon't care either way )


But why is it when you abbreviate Scoobynet to SN or sn .......... it is underlined ?

He may mean that SN abbreviation should automatically be nerdishly underlined as a link, to direct one to the SN homepage?

Other than that, I don't gerrit

He's talking about the fact that the spellcheck looks at SN and doesn't see any word from a dictionary and so it's underlined in red, not all peeps have this plugin installed on their browser.

Actually, nah, it doesn't seem to always do it, so I'm wrong, dunno why it does it

Well, from this laptop, whenever I view Scoobynet and someone abbreviates it to SN it has a dotted underline under sn or SN .... It doesn't matter.

By the look of the response so far, it seems no-one else can see it ...... Even more puzzling

Oh and BTW it is a plain black dooted underline, not red.

I do see it as well, I'm now as confused as you as I'd always thought it a spellchecker thing.

Yup. I'm using firefox too. When you hover over it says 'scoobynet'. Always puzzled me that one.

lol, this is bizarre, from what I can see it is something to do with the spellcheck. Maybe FF/Opera has problems when accessing the dictionary it uses. Mine's set to UK English. I still have no idea whatta gwarn

Actually, it's probably coded into the site then. I know foof all about web design etc. but it seems the most likely thing. Wonder what else SN does that for?
