To All: When posting links here, be darn sure that they are safe before posting. I, for one, have the best solidly re-inforced firewall that money can buy. For example, it is blocking my look at the scrolling ad on the site that some people have described. Some people have complained that some links here have crashed their browser and internet explorer. The moderators CANNOT delete unsafe ones. We must be extra-careful, please! You will notice that I have never set a link inside one of my posts and that’s because I don’t know how to do it! But, now, I feel extra special good about that! That is all…

There are two ways to create a link.

http://www.deviantart.com/

and

deviantART

The scary thing about this system is this…

http://www.deviantart.com/

You see what I did?

If you want to remain safe, hover your mouse over a link and look at destination address shown in the bottom left corner of the browser. (That’s where it is for me, at least.) That should at least tell you where exactly you’re going.

When I touch a link, the destination address appears right next to the little hand and asks if I want to go there. If i do go and my security system feels something’s not right, it won’t let me go there. Of course, I can override it… Sometimes I think I have overprotected myself. (?) Yes, I see what you did, change in case and an extra space (?) which might take me to a totally different place, right?

“Yes, I see what you did, change in case and an extra space (?) which might take me to a totally different place, right?”

I did not add an extra space or add a change in case. I did something far more interesting than that. Click the third link. You shall see. :3

Okay, 1 and 2 took me to a same website, 3 to your own page within the website (?) I still don’t know why the difference?

“I still don’t know why the difference?”

I named the link “http://www.deviantart.com/,” but it actually led to http://www.sirfinix.deviantart.com/.

Very scary, I’ll make sure to check closely from now on. I understand AL is also into deviant tarts? I will check the site out more thoroughly, and your page, too. Thank you.

For some strange reason I have not seen this thread until today…

So THATS how you do that thing with changing your link to text… way cool. And thanks for pointing out the link info in the bottom left there FiNiX… I didn’t know that either…learn something new every day!!!
