    Unwanted Skype format

    I put phone numbers into a post today, which caused an unwanted autoformat of some kind to occur in the post. The numbers appear to have been converted into links for Skype, and some additional text was inserted into my post after the text I entered. I find this extremely annoying. How do I disable this auto-formatting and addition of text to my post?

    Here's an example: Please call 707-922-5757 or 415-747-0941 ASAP.

    Thank you!

    I suspect this is problem on your end. I'll post the the same number you did and see what happens:

    Thank you, Barry! I do have Skype on my computer, and yes, it is likely this unwanted auto-format happened on my end. I'll have a talk with my Skype app.
