Disable the automatic [acronym ] tag

I mentioned this before, but now it is starting to become an annoyance. On some browsers (I'm on Firefox 3 on a Mac), vBulletin is autocorrecting acronyms by placing an [acronym ] tag around them. However, it often is not correct. For instance, I just read:

If you are on the right browser, you would find out that "PR" is an acronym for "Google Page Ranking". If not, here's a clipped screenshot:


There must be somewhere in the vBulletin software that lists what acronyms are autocorrected. Since this board uses few acronyms (aside from NSFW), I think that the list could be safely deleted without harm.

It's not vbulletin software as vbulltin doesn't have an acronym tag out of the box.

I think that it is the SEO software.

I'll mention it to Halx.
