How to stop replacing dashes with mdashes

Hi :) I've installed vanilla & found one problem: when I paste html link to my old forum (perl) or my blog (wordpress) links r corrupted because of vanilla use to replace dashes with mdashes. For example, instead www.blabla-bla I see www.blabla—bla. I suppose I have to edit something in library/framework but I will be very glad to know which file & line. Thanks :)

    Good for u Dinoboff :), but I didn't say that THIS forum replace dashes I'm worring about MINE & wanna know how I can avoid this replacement. Yes, mdashes appear when I post the comment - maybe because of russian version but however I need more information about replacement in vanilla. Thanks.

    I tried it on a basic forum as well. Which extensions are you using? I am not aware of any dashes replacement in comments.

    Thanks once more - I use Attachments, AjaxQuote, Category Jumper, Comment Removal, GuestSignIn, & HTML formatter. I suppose the most suspicious is HTML formatter...

    I don't think HTML formatter does that. Could it be MySql?

    This really sounds like Smarty Pants is running... Try turning off all extensions and see if the dashes are removed... if so, then turn them on one at a time until the bad dashes come back.

    I don't know of any extensions doing this, but I'd like to know for sure.

    Thank u! I've done it before posting my quest but managed to leave out Transmogriffer (: I disabled it so for now everything is OK :). I suppose I have to check code in order to find replacement...
