An observation behaviour online

Ana you have too much time on your hands ! lol

Yes, I know, I love it!

Ana, What an exciting life you lead.

I found the birthday cake by searching for a thread about GN's anniversary, then copied and pasted the cake into a new post.

When you preview the post, the 'code' is shown (in this case, 'birthday3) in the Message box and the cake is shown in the Preview box.

I was just thinking how much more entertaining this is than a fight about possible bullying, Janer

Soutra - I don't know how ana arrived at the birthday cake, but how I did it was to highlight hers, then do a right-click on it with my mouse and choose "view selection source". This showed the source code for the highlighted bit, and I could see where it says "alt ='whatever' "

Whatever is the reference that GN has for that emoticon, and is what it is stored under. If it can't find it, it just shows the reference. It only works with ones that GN has stored somewhere.

The same thing is happening when you see a blank space on any webpage where a picture ought to be, with a few words tantalisingly in the middle of it, like "the best view in the world". It means that the photo is unavailable.

I'm beginning to think that too!

Now all of you look at the title of the thread. I am observing your behaviour online and finding it hilarious!

?? However did you arrive at that?
Did your mum ever work at Bletchley Park?

Birthday cake is birthday3 inside single square brackets. I wonder what happened to birthday1 and birthday2

Just wanted to try it. Thank you.

OH goody, that's birthday cake, party hats so why not some music ♫♪♫

Aha, I have tracked it down!

Oh rats! I meant to preview that first

Dan Brown's got nothing on you lot!

Yes, it's fun cracking the codes, isn't it?

I was doing more complicated things.

Oh, you mean the other one? That's just 'crown' in square brackets.

See my post of 16.42 Elegran.

How did one do one's crown?
