IanHarrop 42 #1 March 17, 2006 this is weird... check out this post http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2131815#2131815 I typed the letters of the word icon in lower case and did not make it a link. When I saved the post the word becomes a link to Aerodyne and the first letter is capitalized. Is this new (paid) functionality in dz.com? Edit to add - it happened to the word Aerodyne too when I saved this message...."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrBrant 0 #3 March 18, 2006 it's even funnier when "icon" appears in the middle of a word, like emoticon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 1 #4 March 20, 2006 This is really really annoying. Annoying to the point of not renewing my Premier membership. It my opinion it also damages the Aerodyne brand. The content of my posts is my own, and I resent having that content hijacked. It turns editorial content into advertising, and that crosses the line.

BIGUN 1,406 #5 March 20, 2006 While I can understand your point, the flip side of the coin is threefold, 1) ya gotta hand it to Aerodyne for some creative marketing, 2) it takes money to run this household and I'm sure that while considering withdrawing your premier membership will be as much as a financial impact on the overall welfare of this house as Aerodyne withdrawing their advertising dollars, 3) it's HH's house and his responsibility to ensure its financial success so we have a house to go to. And, whether you decide to keep your membership or not, the "way" is not going away and will continue to be in your posts. I do not have a premier membership and if HH wants my posts to autocreate a hyperlink for advertising using keywords, have at it. It's not going to affect the content of my posts. Emoticon, Icon Aerodyne Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
