After the warning about a virus that could be put onto your computer by clicking onto a web link, I was wondering if the links could look like one thing and yet send you to another. Using the quote function seems to be the only way to find the real destination.

Good idea, and thanks for playing around with it. It's worth considering, definitely. But as to the links functioning above, it may be case-specific. On my end, neither my wee avatar nor the emoticon provide a link. Also, in order to subvert the info on a link, one would need to provide an enticement to click on it: IOW, one would not normally think to check quote attribution, emoticon, or, in most cases, images (although Denny's made me paranoid about that after all this time ) for links. You'd need to have a "<----Click Me" sign or something, I'd think. So, if I understand correctly, if one doesn't open a link, there's no problem. Right? Or is there a subtler issue, too, even if the link isn't opened but lies fallow?I.D.10-t wrote:After the warning about a virus that could be put onto your computer by clicking onto a web link, I was wondering if the links could look like one thing and yet send you to another.

As a side note, it would be a bad habit to use the avatar of the person in a quote, because if they change their avatar the link will be broken.
You sly dog. Somehow I knew I should keep an eye on you.I.D.10-t wrote:Same thing with changing the color of your text to black to cover up the fact that it is a link (something that I do with my signature most of the time).
Not than I can think of. I tried to think of what I could do by hiding text using the color function (something I had seen on a book thread to hide spoilers). The only nefarious thing I could think of was to make it difficult to quote me by hiding [/quote] in the text. Annoying, maybe, but nothing harmful. That was my "Watermark test" in the above post. You can clearly see it if you highlight the text.Nanohedron wrote:So, if I understand correctly, if one doesn't open a link, there's no problem. Right?

Don't think so, if there was such a thing, it would most likely be built into an image (and administraters would find a way to stop that type of exploit quickly). I have not heard of such a thing though.Nanohedron wrote:Okay; I was thinking more along the lines of active links as a way to slip, say, spyware in even if they weren't opened. That's not possible, is it?
Well Denny almost wrote that.
