uwantme2b Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I've been wondering this for some time now, but only just got around to asking it. Why is it that, on certain threads, a particular word will come up in red? I noticed it, first of all on a thread about suicide - every time somebody wrote 'suicide' it came up red and bold. And every member had it so it wasn't like something one or two people were doing. I then saw it happening again on a thread about Chester's new tattoo, the word 'tattoo' came up red and bold too. Can someone please explain why this is? http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/9b54002b9ea728de39c3770316d52169.jpg Shark picture by Graham Lambert Rep me please :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilightcrimson7 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hmmm that is weird... I know for a fact, that when you search a specific word, and then go to a thread, the word that you searched is highlighted in red. but from what it sounds like, you didn't search these threads...if you didn't than I don't know :\ http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/caa111db447cb1d28d713cebad979c8d.png ...:away and onward:...

uwantme2b Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Actually now you mention it, I'm pretty sure that I did search for suicide in the Dark Room, because I wanted to see people's opinions on it. But I didn't search for the word 'tattoo.' What happened there? http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/9b54002b9ea728de39c3770316d52169.jpg Shark picture by Graham Lambert Rep me please :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilightcrimson7 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 hmmm you got me.... the only time I remember seeing that sort of thing is in a searched thread :\ sorry. http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/caa111db447cb1d28d713cebad979c8d.png ...:away and onward:...

Qwest Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Actually it is quite possible the person writing the post could have made the word red themselves There are all types of colors to choose from http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/8ccf4d69b6805f847fd8104b3eaee20d.png [broken External Image]:http://www.lapgamer.com/lapgamer_banner728.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilightcrimson7 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 True, but it seems weird that everyone would type the same word in red.... http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/caa111db447cb1d28d713cebad979c8d.png ...:away and onward:...

uwantme2b Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have also seen this in another threads' date='not that I have searched for a specific word but when I go to a certain thread some words are in red and also bolded,I wonder why could this be [/quote'] At least it isn't just me who has noticed this then. I can't think of why this would happen. When I first saw it, I thought it was something people were doing on purpose. But when I saw it again in a different thread I realised that it probably wasn't intentional. I'm really curious as to why this is happening. http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/9b54002b9ea728de39c3770316d52169.jpg Shark picture by Graham Lambert Rep me please :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twilightcrimson7 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 lol yeah that would be weird http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/caa111db447cb1d28d713cebad979c8d.png ...:away and onward:... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Soldier Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 i only get it when i search for something, you can make it hgihlight certain words too if you want(i was really bored and figured it out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwantme2b Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Well as far as I'm away, I didn't deliberately make it do that... and I know I didn't run a search for 'tattoo' but it still came up highlighted. I'm really confused now lol. http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/9b54002b9ea728de39c3770316d52169.jpg Shark picture by Graham Lambert Rep me please :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0SugaxNxSpice0o Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 That is incredibly weird. The only time I've ever seen red text is when I search for 1 keyword as everybody else says. It doesn't just randomly highlight a word in red I don't think. I did make a sentence red once in my blog but that's about it! Hmm well it is a mystery.

Hybrid Soldier Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 It probaly highlighted the word tattoo because you clicked a members link to it, and they searched for it. That happened to me about 5 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to me about 5 minutes ago.[/quote'] Oh, would that be why? I considered that but thought it wouldn't affect me because it wasn't me who actually searched for it. I mean - if I'd found that thread just on the thread list in the LP Central board, that would have been a link as well, so I thought that it just being a link wouldn't have counted.

Hybrid Soldier Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Well, it places something in the link that highlights that certain word. So then when you click on the link it highlights it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwantme2b Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 That seems to make sense.
