Not reporting this yet on the mybb tracker, because I don't think it's a software issue.
I've noticed that a lot of speech marks are being replaced to underscores on these forums.
Example...?? Not seen it anywhere.
Sometimes people use underscores to emphasize words.
Oh. I thought it was meant to be speech marks being changed or something.
Yeah, thats deliberate, though quotation marks should never be used for emphasis, the correct way to emphasize something is to use bold or italics. My primary school English teacher taught me something apparently, I'm not sure what she would think of using underscores though :p

She would consider them incorrect as well. We should add an [em] tag like html has
and let the admin set whether its italics or bold
Yeah I used it to emphasize, nothing else
Writing two underscores too me less time of life than writing [b ] and then [/b] (which I ended up writing right now, as well as some more words, just because my two underscores led to the creation of a new thread).
So, I guess I should probably start using the bold tags from now on ahah

As discussed in the past it kind of defeats the purpose of a quick reply if you need formatting.
