Nice one.

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.

All function, check.
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.
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'm not saying there isn't potential for a problem. I just think there would be ways to do it that would be reasonably reliable. Obvious links, yes. Emoticons: I'm not so sure.
