Glossary auto linking doesn't seem to be working at all on my site, I added a global glossary to the main page, set it to global, set it to auto-link, ensured that each of the terms in the glossary are not set to case sensitive and that they are each set to auto-link.
Yet I don't see any of them linking anywhere, whether it be on the main page, in course descriptions, in forum posts, it just isn't working. I enabled filters for all files, I'm not sure what else to try, is there any administrative setting or something I have to edit in a config file somewhere that I may be missing?
I'm running 1.6.1+ - I originally installed 1.6.1 base install but after glossary didn't appear to be working, trying to figure it out for a good week or so, I upgrade to 1.6.1+ yesterday so I have the latest revisions up to Sept 5th and the database updated with no errors.

Re: Glossary Auto Linking Not Working At All
Unbelievibly, I think I finally figured it out!
It seems all I needed was to enable the filter for it under Admin > Configuration > Filters.
It seems there was a small eye that I had to open in order to actually enable that filter. Unfortunatly this doesn't seem to be described very well because the column that the ability to enable it under is called 'Hide/View', not 'Enable' or something that might make a bit more sense.
None of the documentation I read said anything about enabling it by opening that eye under the Hide/View column, it just said to go to that filters page and 'enable' it which I could find no option for anywhere until I tried that.
Ah well, I guess I'm an idiot for not trying that earlier but still, it's certainly not very clear that this is what you're supposed to do.

I quite agree that the Hide/View column would be more logically called Enable/Disable or Activate/De-activate. However, if you have clicked on the online help for Filters Administration, as I'm sure you have done
, you have then read a very detailed and quite clear explanation as to how enable filters:

Hi Psipherious,
Thanks for your comments. I hope that enabling a filter is explained sufficiently in the Filters (administrator) documentation plus I've added a link to it from the Glossary module documentation. If anything is still unclear, please feel free to edit the wiki.
