Well I'm back to using manual BBcode to change text appearance such as italics, bold, etc.
I would suspect all those links to other services are money makers, like advertisements. Although I, and probably you, don't use Facebook, seems there's a huge number who do.
PS- unchecking the "Track This Thread" since I'm not too old to remember and check back on it later.
