Hyperlinks...

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Does anyone else agree that hyperlinks should be allowed on Random Thoughts AND comments*.
*Added on 12/6/07

If anything from allowing bolded, underlined, italicized words, I think hyperlinks would be the most convenient feature to add. :]

Pasting just the raw link is kinda... bothersome?

12/06/07...There has also been some debate since this thread has been started about hyperlinks. Which is the fact that some people would link to porn. To prevent this, I figured the best idea would be to at least allow hyperlinking with pages only within FFR. For example, only links to threads, playbacks, user profiles and anything else found in FFR can be hyperlinked.

Who's with me?

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Yay, but only one so far? :[ lol!

[TS_SonicMaster]

I would like that, I constantly find things that I want to show and post in random thoughts and such.

[chunky_cheese]

Tsending a message via the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page or PM an Administrator a link to this thread.

I support this too, especially with photo embedding along it's way.

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Great! Thanks for supporting you two.

And did you mean you're already sending this thread to an admin. or did you want me to do it? ^__^

[Zageron]

Obviously.

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

lol. Heheh. :] ... yay.

Thanks. ^^

[RoastedNoob]

Totally unnecessary, I had to copy and paste this thread's link from your random thought or w/e. I could've posted this comment at least two seconds sooner. *nod* Support!

[YukiRamaro]

I approve. lol

[Windscarredfaith]

I say no. People would link to porn and other unnecessary things. If they want to post a link for other people to click, just PM it.

[RoastedNoob]

What's stopping them from linking porn now?

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

What's stopping them from linking porn now?

mhm. Very true! *nods*

And I agree with you too Windscarredfaith but like the quote says. =/
But how about we take into consideration what you pointed out; So maybe, FFR can make it so that you can only add hyperlinks that lead to pages within FFR; Like... Playbacks, threads, other people's profiles, etc.
That way, no porn links. :]

[Summerschool]

You can't link anything, that's what's stopping them. o.O

[fido123]

doesn't [*url]<url>[/url] work?

[meno_rocks123]

doesn't [*url]<url>[/url] work?
it does. The tags are in the ffr siggys

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

It works on Random Thoughts?!

I'll have to try...

Nah. It doesn't work on Random Thoughts. =/

Lol. Well that's like what I said in my post directly under yours, restrict what you can link.

rofl. Exactly.
I actually pasted the raw link to this thread on my profile in a Random Thought; exactly what I'm wanting to change. :]

[gabgabo]

I think only FFR's link should be allowed, this would be logical.

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

mhm. Good enough for me too; better than not being able to create hyperlinks at all. ^-^

[RoastedNoob]

Right, like not being able to click and go instantly to an address is going to stop anyone from going to it.

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Well, I used that "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page and sent ti to Synth, I'm guessing. Haven't heard anything from it yet. =\
Doubt I will. Dx

[jokim]

100% Support.

Clicks, Pressing keys, moving to Adress bar, Clicking, Pasting.
What a loss of time!

Let's replace that by : "CLICK" and you're there. Lol

EXACTLY!!! Frikk.
Thanks for the support! lol. :D

So...
Currently 9 people support.
And 1 person does not support.

[customstuff]

I support!

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Sweet!

[meno_rocks123]

"CLICK" and you're there. Lol

so let me get this straight. you can either:
copy and paste the link into a random thought
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/profile/abbiemonGoesRaWr/ (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/vbz/../profile/abbiemonGoesRaWr/)
OR
type a word, highlight it, click "add hyperlink", copy and paste the link, and the hit "ok".
b (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jckly-BKiiE)anana p (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/profile/abbiemonGoesRaWr/)a (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP5dwAaxJgY)nts (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/profile/abbiemonGoesRaWr/)

you tell me what's easier.

PS. click on the "a" in pants.
PPS. click on the "b" in banana.

Rofl. I have to watch the "b" in banana later, saw the first 10 seconds but it's too long for right now.

And I'm aiming for at least being able to do both.
The second would be great so it's not just the flatout link sitting in a Random Thought. The whole point overall is just being to just click on the link and be taken to the page without having to highlight, copy, paste, and then hit enter.

[jokim]

You should Edit your "front" post to show how many supporters you got, instead of posting, Just easier to track.

You can keep on posting "Updated" lmao.

Lol. Alrighty. I'll do it. :]

EDiT:
Ohk. I've edited the front post and added a list of supporters and non-supporters.

EDiT 2:
I've also made a few more changes and added a few more ideas to the first post. Check it out. :]

[Rihoj]

Alright I support this, here are a few things though.

1. Hyperlinking just within the website would be very hard to code. Trust me I code a lot. They would have to do codes to check if the link is a valid link within their own server, and the coding to do that is long.

2. As far as linking to porn, well people can do it anyways. I mean I could type in the link on the random thoughts, and it could link to porn, and so all that people would have to do is copy it off my random thoughts and put it in the url. Really not that hard. making an anchor tag legal within random thoughts is a good idea. The FFR staff will just have to make sure in their rules they have it say no linking to porn, and if you do you have a penalty.

So yes i support having it anchor tags made legal, and I even think it should be able to link outside of the server.

Yay. Thanks for the support. :]
As for number one, if it gets too hard to code then FFR can just have links from outside servers then. Like I said in the OP, I'm aiming for either one. So long as we get to use hyperlinks.

[phe0nixblade]

I don't think it should be allowed. Stop being ****ing lazy and copy and paste it jesus christ.

[gabgabo]

This is a thread for laziness, instead of copy/pasting, you want it to all happen by itself, I support phe0nixblade, it's useless.

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Meh. Well alrighty. I'll put you two under non-supporters.

[shadowwar]

This is a thread for laziness, instead of copy/pasting, you want it to all happen by itself.

I've got to say, he does make a good point. On the other hand, Rihoj makes a good point too. As for what I think, most people on FFR are lazy and don't want to copy/paste it even though it's relatively simple to do. I support this 100%!

Hmm? Really? Sounded like you were going to go against, but thanks for the support, I'll add you. :]

[gamekboy]

I will support all the way for you abbie!! I'm in!! =)

[tha Guardians]

God, it's so annoying copying and pasting links and going back and deleting spaces v_v'

Full support. If only within FFR, at least.

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Yay, Awesome!

Will be adding both to the supporters list. ^_^
