I can only assume you changed something in your style setting. If that is true it would have been several places. Because everything has a underline.
Or possibly a html include that overrides the style setting.

All I can see is your hyperlinks underlined, not all text.

To remove this go to Styles > Edit > General CSS Properties > Body > Special Link Properties

Here you will see 4 text boxes. Just enter the following in to these boxes.

Code
text-decoration: none;
You might want something different in the last one (Hover Link) to make it mor obvious that it's a link. For example:

Code
text-decoration: underline;

ScriptKeeper,
Try using IE, Firefox displays fine but in IE everything has a underline and I mean everything.

I've found that if you remove the very first line of the source code the underlining disappears.

HTML
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

The main site doesn't contain this line so it displays OK, it's just the forum.

Likely you have an unclosed tag in your header insert (or through a modification of a template); remember that if you open a tag, always be sure to close it...

Ex: Open Link:
Code
<a href="http://www.yoursite.tld">

Closing Tag:
Code
</a>

Not sure why removing the doctype would fix it; it shouldn't really have much effect at all...

Well Giz. I was looking this up outside of here and a user at another board stated the same thing that removing the DOC type fixed it. The response from others was the same as yours. Open tag somewhere.
So who is to say what is correct? Beats me.

Found it. No closing tag on header image:

HTML
<center>
<A HREF="http://www.jongerenraadweert.nl/"><img border="0" src="http://www.jongerenraadweert.nl/images/jongerenraad.jpg" width="950" height="100">

LOL, I had this happen to me in a forum description using bold. Drove me nuts till I figured out it was an unclosed tag.

Viewing the page source and looking through code is prob how he found it wink

If that is true then it just shows you the dedication members here have to help out each other.
Another reason I use UBB.

The only question now is will mofrawrt come back to read this.
I noticed an older post with the same issue.( I think)
It was in a different language.

[Control Panel] [Display Options - general] [TAB: HTML Includes]

After your image ...../jongerenraad.jpg" width="950" height="100"> place a </a>

Your problem is probably solved by that.

Don't ever be sorry for helping.
Even if it is a duplicate.
You never know if someone is typing at the same time as you.
Besides you may add a different resolution. Which you did.

Special Agent Jethro Gibbs from the TV series NCIS would say that saying your sorry is a sign of weakness. wink
