a tags adding url in parentheses - how to remove?

[eluser]jmadsen[/eluser]
This seems incredibly simple, and yet I can't find any reference to it anywhere.

When I place anchor tags on my view, such as:

Code:

<?php echo anchor("http://www.mysite.com/", "My site");?>

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/">My Site</a>

it always shows up as:

"...hello this is My Site (http://www.mysite.com/). Thank you for..."

How do I remove the additional "(http://www.mysite.com/)" part from showing up? This happens with hand coding or using the CI anchor function.

Thanks!
