I just read someones post and half of the text was in blue, linked! My personal opinion is that it is annoying .. It distracts me from remembering what I was going to do! Then again, I have a memory like a goldfish.. but I wish they hadn't implemented it! What do you think?

Meh, I can get over it. It was annoying for the first couple of reads, but now I just ignore it...didn't take long. http://your-graphic-design.blogspot.com

I would get over it too if the words made sense to search for (or easier get over it,) but TO DO and I HAVE!! Why would I want to search for that.

Yea I start wondering what the heck they are going to come up with next, possibly something even more annoying!

I find it a bit distracting, too. Especially when the link gets broken for some reason, which has happened in about a third of what I have read today. So there is all this garbled stuff right in the middle of someone's post. I don't like it at all.

the links seem so random so I don't think that they work well. They should try to go over them and check which are valid and which aren't .

It's too bad but I don't understand why it highlights certain words, but not others. You would think it would choose words that people would actually search for.

Why would someone search for TOO BAD. Strange to me!! (here they should highlight strange, even that would make more sense)

If this is a way they find to stop repetitive discussions I guess it's a good call. It doesn't bother me much, and if is for the good of myLot then it's a plus!

I don't think that it will work the way they want. We'll see, maybe I'll get used to it too.
