This happens every time. HubPages notifies me that a broken link has been detected. I verify that the link is indeed broken. If so, I remove it (most part of the rush so many months ago to link to other Hubs, now unpublished). When I save the edit, I see that the former link is now formatted with underlining. Why? To make people think it's still a link? This is a bug. If I wanted to format the former link with underlining, I would select the underline formatting. As it is, I have to edit a second time to remove the unwanted underline.
Please remove this "feature."
This happens to me from time to time, too. I just remove the link, save the capsule, and if it saves as underlined, I go into the capsule again, highlight the underlined text, and click the underline to remove it.
It has been doing this ever since I have been a member and declared fixed at least once. Hopefully reporting it again will make them look at it again.
This issue as already said has been around for years and has been reported many times (including by me) and is still unresolved.
The broken link can be replaced with another valid link that is relevant to your hub. Why completely remove it?
I'm talking about removing the forced underlining (no longer a link). Sure, I could add a new link, but right now I don't have time to go searching for a new one. The point of this post was all about the extra step required by HubPages "bug" to remove underlining formatting that should not have been a "feature" after the link was removed.

I hope I'm allowed to ask this question ! I make only pennies on my hubs. Granted only a few are evergreen, but I'm wonder if I would be better off taking one of my everygreen hubs which would lend itself well to an ebook app and publishing that way. I've used ibuild app and...

I have recently reworked paragraph structure and formatting for my article "Pierogi: A Tradition for the Polish Wigilia (Christmas Eve) Meal" (t.ly/sfdS) I can not figure out how best to use the Recipe Content Capsule for Instructions. I'm not too fond of the way it looks in the...

Are you removing your "sign up for Hubpages" messages when you edit your hubs?When I went into edit mode on some of my hubs today, one of the "style recommendations" was to remove the sign up for Hubpages link that I put at the bottom of the article. I wonder if others are...

I'm of the opinion that I approve all comments even the nasty ones. If someone is going to be nasty in a comment then they should be public and made to deal with the fall out (if there is any.)However, I've noticed that one or two of my more ..... Controversial hubs have generated more comments...

Attention Hubbers! Check you hubs IMMEDIATELY. I was reviewing one of my hubs and found a link to another hubbers article. Puzzled, I went to edit mode to remove it but it didn't show up. Obviously, the editors placed it there. I have emailed them to remove...
