The fake website link! (Don't worry, it's perfectly safe)

Two links for you:

http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/index.php
http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/index.php

The catch? The first takes you to the forum index. But the second takes you to All About Scratch! But they look the same...

To fake a link, you need to know some BBCode. Say that I want to make a link to the Scratch Forums Index that is called "Scratch Forums Index". You do this:

Code:

[url=http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/index.php]Scratch Forums Index[/url]

First, you have the 'url=' thing. Then you enter in the website. Then put the bracket, then the name of the link. Then the '/url' thing.

To fake it, just make the name a website. Simple.


What's so big? Don't just click any link! It could be fake! If you need to, click the quote button and check the website. Or just only click links from people you trust.

On my Internet Explorer 8, at the bottom left corner of the internet application, I sometimes see the website that a link wants to take me to. That helps me... though I've heard that some people can hack and things and get it to show something else...

For more BBCode (if you're hooked), visit the sticky in All About Scratch: POST IT! Tips and Tricks About Using the Scratch Forums (This is the sticky, honest!)

This could be used in a bad way by advertisers.

Yeah! Pretend to give a link to a Scratch project, and you actually go to a website about someone's breakfast cereal.

That is not... I was just mentioning that people could fake things! I didn't say to actually do it! If anything, please use Scratch-related websites. People prefer that.

hmmm...the link must be related to scratch, but people may also add malware sites link and it may damage your computer. Before clicking on any link, just right click on it and see the address  smile
