Why all of a sudden are certain words showing up green and underlined in our posts? |

Not seeing it Adrienne, maybe it's just your computer? Awhile back DS loaded someing onto our computer that highlighted/underlined some words...they were then links to advertising (if I remember correctly). Total WTF, I uninstalled it immediately. |

It depends on your browser. I get it too. Some of them have the green and underlined to give you the definition of certain words. I believe that's what you're talking about. If you hover over it or click on it, it should take you to the definition. |

Check your add-ons and plug-ins. You might have a shopping thing or a dictionary thing or a skype thing installed. You might also have some malware. |

I've seen that on certain websites; hovering over the underlined words usually brings up a little bubble with a sponsored site relevant to those words. I've never seen it here, though. If you figure out's causing it, let the rest of us know, this might be something to watch out for. |

It's definitly a plug in/add on, and could be considered malaware. If you click on one of those green links, you will most likely be directed to another page, trying to sell you something. I Seccond the reccomendation of checking your plug in's and browser add ons (Internet Explorer is really bad for things of this nature), I would also reccomend cleaning out your cache of temporary internet files and cookies.
