A plugin called LibX seems to play a roll in the way eLink buttons are displayed. Ed from Systems reports Google is also going to run an update (soon?). So, keep watching for an improvement on this front.
Previously…
We are not sure why (we are investigating) but the eLinks show up better in Firefox using http://scholar.google.com than http://scholar.google.ca . And links are not showing up as often as they should in Internet Explorer. So, if you can, for now use Firefox and go to the .com site for Google Scholar.
