How can I turn off the over-eager Auto Link feature?

[Sharuf]

Your new restaurant referencing automation is driving me crazy! First you added a reference to Clark's in Mountain View to my post even though I did NOT claim it to be a restaurant review.

I fumble around trying to delete the link, then you replace the link with "West Coast Cafe" - prompted, no doubt, by my reference to our geographic area. Then, with an edit, I change my mention of the West Coast to "Pacific Coast" hoping that would get rid of the link to "West Coast Cafe". Didn't work. It's still sitting there.

How can I delete an inappropriate Auto Link from my posts? It looks like I put them there myself, which is embarrassing. I don't like 'rassling with the software.

BTW, what's with the teeny-sized font in the comment box?

We've removed the link. The problems with the Auto LInk feature are being discussed in other threads on this board. There's no way to turn it off, but the Engineers have been made aware that it's not working the way it should.
