Weird thread links

Posted by Runemist34 on March 24, 2011 at 1:23 am

Hey, um, I might be a little out of the loop when it comes to site updates, but is anyone else noticing weird links coming up in words when we don't mean them to?

CAR, CKR, Star…

Those are all showing up as links, and when in a sentence, such as "Be careful!" it gets a little weird! Am I the only one confused? https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

I just noticed. I guess it is to show the moves that are spoken of, but it is a bit weird when it linkes out of context, like "Take care" or "I want to be a star!"

I just noticed too. I think it's a good idea in concept, to automatically link to V's lessons when we discuss a move. But especially car and star will end up leaving some confusing links. lol. Hopefully there is a way to adjust the sensitivity or something. For now some more odd examples. "I had just started to carefully put my pole up, when…" https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

ok, I know I'm just being annoying now, so please disregard this comment, but I just love wordplay, so…

NASCAR, Madagascar, Bacardi, caramel, scars, carpet, cardio, card games, scarce resources and mascara.

Starfish, Starwars, custard & mustard, Starsky & Hutch and starvation.

Aerosol spray, rhinoceros and sclerosis.

Okay, okay, I had my fun!

Sorry for the inconvenience! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif

A lot of fun can be had with this, I started to laugh 🙂 Hehe 😉

Fixing this is on my todo list for today. We are trying to create automatic links to information in the site, to make it easier for people to find related topics, and we were starting with the moves 🙂

I LOVE the idea – it will make referencing moves SO much easier!

Hehe, EVamp, that was awesome 😉 I had considered the wordplay, but yours were far more creative than mine!

Webby, thank you for catching this so quickly! You really are a genius! I didn't want to, as Veena said, get the whip out…I just wasn't sure if it was just me noticing, or if this was supposed to be happening! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
