(This is just an example only. The style code should probably be added to EXTRA.css rather than inline).
Seems to be compatible with most browsers, all except Opera Mini and older Internet Explorer. It disables click/hover events on the element it is applied to. Effectively makes it plain text, and non clickable.
Still interested in the "why" though. Seems like an odd thing to be insistent on changing.
Definitively not a bug. It's no different than anything else that involves some amount of programmatically generated HTML (username markup, dates and times, etc).
@Chris D pardon my ignorance but can I ask you to share the code that I should put on EXTRA.css in order to get rid of that link? I'm not that good with CSS so I don't know what to put there.
If you get some spare time I would really appreciate your help.
