How do you think that you can make a hidden link?
There is a hidden link in this thread somewhere. Can someone find it, and post back how I did it? Even though it can be quite easy to figure out, it may make you wonder what other messages contain hidden things. An Easter Egg at BC, if you will...Thanks for the suggestion to turn it into a game, KoanYorel!

yeah I found it and know how too! Want a screenshot? Want me to pm you?
KoanYorel
PM to Jason only - Please!

Others may still be trying to figure this out!!!

I Had to be told about it! After I gave up!!!

This makes a new kind of game for us all. You get one shot at it.
And you might just be amazed at how simple the whole thing works...

~Koan

another "learning experience"!
Pandy
Oh Kewl.. invisible links huh? I have no idea how you'd do that.
cowsgonemadd3
CRAP! Mine look like lines! There not invisible! Maybe I should go into html of this page and find out!
JEservices
Yes, please send a PM about how you do it._I will reveal later how it is done. Oh by the way, this message has another hidden link in it, but it is much harder to find w00t.gif
Pandy
specool.gif LOL I found it!! I cannot wait to find out how you do that. w00t.gif
KoanYorel
Ah Nuts! The old blind man loses out again!

You are almost there Scarlett, keep trying! tongue.gif
KoanYorel
Now I'm agitated! I do know about the original hidden text.

And I guess I'm too dumb to figure out the latest game....

I'll bet there's only one individual on this board that can figure out this hidden item.
And only because I told that individual about it before this.

PM's to me only to express your guess. And only the knowledgeable will ever really know!

You are right. And so far, you are the only other person who has the exact answer.
KoanYorel
This was a "great game" for this evening.

I'm just sorry that too many others had to leave us - to sleep or what ever.

I guess you can give up the real answers now Jason.

And now we'll have many looking at every "dit", "dah" and other items on a page.

Just wondering if they're missing a "secret message"!!??

tee-hee ~~~Koan *
Scarlett
I just cant get it. mellow.gif huh.gif ________What a brain teaser!
KoanYorel
It's really not a "brain tease" M'Lady,

Use your Left click and drag/hi-light, and overview that post.

There - Iv'e given away Jason's secret - almost!

But, you'll never find his second item, nor my First. Tee Hee

Jason,

You will not believe this even though I'm telling you about it...

I just "hung" up my XP system doing that Hide a pixel thing
for the first time in several years...

I've no idea how I messed it up as I've been doing it so
long that it was almost second nature for me, but I did manage to
stall my XP trying to e-mail via "OutlooK' the same thing I've
done for years, & years.

Maybe it was the SP2 upgrade or was it the change over to FF
I can't really remember the last time I tried to execute a
similar "dot" xmsn. Heh heH....

I''ll figure it out eventually, no doubt. cool.gif

Power to the "spooks"...
JEservices
If anyone gives up and wants the answer, feel free to PM me._I will give a hint for those that are wondering. This could not be done, unless you could change something special...something that makes characters stand out.
KoanYorel
he, he, something... stand...he, he...

This may be the best game on BC so far....He, he, he.
cowsgonemadd3
I found the newest one. I can also make the text so you aint the only ones you two! But im trying to make a link so let me try in this post!

cyberfilly
ok I found the "hidden" links *YEA FOR ME!*
but I cant figure out how to actually hide a link?

*mumbles back to reading*
JEservices
Yep, finding the link is the easy part. Figuring out how to make it hidden is the tough part. wacko.gif

cyberfilly, I love your kitty. Is it it from here, or did you have to import from another site?
cyberfilly
Jason its an import but I just had to have it as its almost a perfect pic of 1 of our cats!
if ya want 1 like it let me know right now Im working on 1 Im calling *Osama Bin Kitten*
JEservices
Is it the pic that has a kitten holding a sub-machine gun? I remember seeing that somewhere, and I almost fell out of my chair laughing so hard.
cyberfilly
LMAO yea I love that 1 nope this is a pic of 1 of our own Kittens wearing a (sorry I dont know the politically correct term) head scarf with attitude
KoanYorel
For Jason,

I figured it out - why my XP OS "hung" up when I tried to send the Picture with the extra
Pixel included. My McAfee AV apparently couldn't handle the scan(???)!

I had to mess with it all several times 'til I figured that part out. Now I just need to
figure out how to get it passed the AV.... without shuting it down/off.

???

I will be willing to bet because you have not done that for years, that it finally went through the systems, and the fix was released in one of the updates.


cyberfilly

I started a new thread in the Album and image forum. I did find that pic, and posted it over there. I would really hate for someone to think that we was going offtopic.gif from the hidden link whistling.gif hysterical.gif
KoanYorel
Aside comments shouldn't be considered offtopic.gif unless they would predominate
and take over the Thread. I don't believe any of us minded that short diversion.

My McAfee still refuses to release or send out that Pix with the "extra pixel" in it via my Outlook e-mail proxy.

Pretty savvy AV system considering I don't think it's seen that kind of item as an
outgoing message before this. But I can go to g-mail and copy/paste/input it into mail
that I send from there. And g-mail sends it out as requested to whomever. tee-hee....

Now, if I could only get the URLs of some spammers - I'd send them a small kernel of my mind wrapped around a tracking pixel.....

Don't we all wish it were so.....
JEservices
I was not saying that you would flag it off topic. There is someone who has posted in the thread that offtopic.gif me, and it has been a running gag between us for some time. It is not meant to play any harm or anything.

As many may have noticed by now, this thread didnt really have anything to do with hardware, so I moved it to the appropriate forum.

Edited: If you want some spammer E-mails, i will be more then happy to oblige. I know I have plenty in my black list laugh.gif

Scarlett, you are truly priceless. I hope that you never leave our fair group dance.gif
Scarlett
Hey the hints and tips helped. Lol And do not worry. I have no plans of ever leaving. Im settled in and quite comfortable. smile.gif Look for mine. rolleyes.gif In prior posts. Not this one. PM me if you like. This is silly but fun. w00t.gif
phawgg
I found it!! I found it!! I found it!!
cyberfilly
OH a marquee!! I WANNA DO THAT TOO!! wink.gif
Scarlett

hmmm, marquee is phrozenn in Firefox.
Scarlett
So happy to have created a few giggles. Hold back for now, please. icon_bubbles.gif I have been just FOTFLMAO over this one.
JEservices
I find it to be so ironic Scarlett, that you would link to a BB help thread, when the only way it can be done, is to think outside the box. _ tongue.gif

Anyway, I think that I will be putting some people out of their misery be telling them how I did it. Is there anyone that thinks that I should give it some more time? By the way, I would only do this in PM, not in the thread.
Scarlett
Ok Im getting closer_Hmmmm....

whistling.gif_______tongue.gif
cowsgonemadd3
Just weird. Google it. My version will work in HTML but not bb code. I need to make it fit or really work in bb code you know!?
JEservices
Scarlett, the link that you provided was VERY close to what I am saying. If you omit the portion about images, then you get the idea. To anyone who is curious, this is NOT done with hidden pixels, but it is done with hiding a character. Also, the conversation was dated back in '01, so even though BB Code may not have been around then, he does hint on how it can be done.

Edited: To Cows: If you like, you can PM me the HTML using the code button, and I will tell you if you are on the right track.

JE As you can see. There is a hidden link in this quote. But, the link does not work. wacko.gif I'm going to give this some more thought. And when I have the time I will contact you via PM. I came across some code also. I will send it too. I'd like to hear what you think.

Too many secrets i say smile.gif
