I downloaded DNN9 and installed it for the first time, I've never used it before. I installed it on my 2016/IIS10 dev server, running SQL 2012. It installed and operates flawlessly, with one caveat.

Every menu link shows a [L] in front of it. So for instance, the main pane menu on the left pops out and looks like this:

[L]CONTENT
[L]Pages
[L]Recycle Bin

Same for the top menu, it shows [L]Logout, and a [L] is overlaid on top of the Messages and Notification icons.

Anyone have any idea where this is coming from, and how to get rid of it?

Update: Interestingly, it's also being added as a prefix to the subject of emails being sent by DNN:

Subject: [L]DNN SMTP Configuration Test from servername

That "menu" is the Persona Bar and is the administrative interface to your site. It should be visible only if you are logged in and superuser.

Do you see icons on the left, below the DNN logo at the top?

In the <code>web.config</code> there's an app setting named <code>ShowMissingKeys</code>. This is designed to help you see what has and has not been translated (i.e. which text is using localization, coming from a <code>resx</code> file). When this is set to true, it adds <code>&#91;L&#93;</code> to localized text, and displays missing resource text as the key name with <code>RESX:</code> as a prefix, e.g. <code>RESX:FirstName.Text</code>. Setting that key to <code>false</code> in the <code>web.config</code> will turn this off.

Thank you, yes, this was it. I'm not sure that was enabled, but disabling it fixed the issue.
