Just a test. Nothing to read. Move along.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Okay, test successful.

Yes, there was really a reason for that. It wasn’t just to stick out my tongue. I wanted to see if a smiley could be made into a link, all by itself. Obviously, it can. I’m not really sure if there’s a practical application, but it is interesting.

…and thus, the road of SDMB science moves on …

Oh, great. Now I’m going to be checking smilies to see if they’re links!

:stuck_out_tongue:
[sup]this smilie is not a link[/sup]

Worse than that, Arden.

Just imagine the kinds of links you could hide in a smilie.

On second thought, don’t. It’s just too vile to contemplate.

:stuck_out_tongue:

(The above smilie was not a link: Now we’re gonna have to put a disclaimer beside every smilie. Wonderful).

Um, well,I was just curious, really – these odd ideas just come to me sometimes – but I suppose I may have to apologize at some point for inadvertently giving the trolls and yo-yos yet another tool for their ignorance-spreading mischief. Sigh…

:eek:

Let’s see if that works. (Note: The above smiley should be a link…)

Another test:

And another:
:smiley:

Interestingly, initial spaces before a link get eaten, but terminal spaces don’t. The first test was a link of three spaces; the second, a link of a space, followed by a smiley, followed by a space.

The moral? If you’re going to link spaces, always do it with a smile-- er, if you’re going to link a smiley, always do it with a space. :slight_smile:

Yeah, yeah, I messed up the link. Shaddup. :smiley:

      

Is that what you were trying to do?

Perhaps.

Dammit, Cervaise!

That’s just evil!

You just put in four more spaces, and it works? Hmm…

Actually, the link I messed up was the second one … but 'sokay. Thanks, though. :slight_smile:

man, this rocks! :slight_smile: Cervaise, your “Perhaps” was absolutely hilarious! a masterpiece. :smiley: . i guess i’m gonna sniff every smiley from here on…and all the others that don’t read this thread would only be wondering why i look like a police dog in training…:stuck_out_tongue:

( standard disclaimer : none of the smilies have links )

damn, i can almost see people playing “first person to find smilie with link wins” games…i need sleep :slight_smile:

-xash.

'nother test.
