Hey, because I am a computer retard, I wanted to know somethign. I see soem people have been warned for posting a hot link. What the heck is a hot link? IS it spicy hot, or will I burn myself with it? I don't want to be warned for somethign I knwo nothing about. I would rather be warned the old fashioned way, for calling somebody a dumb @$$ in the middle of a rant.

This is a hot link:http://forums.military.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5291911282/m/6100055902001

You can click on it, usually it's blue, and go right to the page. (military.com links are permitted here)

This is not a hot link:
forums.military.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5291911282/m/6100055902001

Just copy everything after the http or ww"w". If I put the three w's, it would even still show a hot link I think.

LOL, does a red light come on, and sirens starting whooping? I can picture you there, leaned back in your chair, and the alarm goes off, you jumping to your feet, yelling,"Damnit, we have a hot link poster in the General Discussion thread!!"

I just recently learned what a hot link was myself and I’ve been here awhile. I thought the same as you, off color or unacceptable. I kept hearing hot links and said to myself, “I’d never post anything like that”. I’m sure the mods got frustrated with me but never did get my tail feathers clipped to short !

Since we are snowed in and I have nothing to do, can I post some hot links, Huh? huh?

Why is a hot link blue not red? Just wondering..........

Aren't blue flames hotter than red ones???

Nah, you just get a warning. I was trying to help someone not post a hotlink and inadvertently ended up making a hot link myself. The funny part was that the hotlink went nowhere. It was a made up site. I still got a 10 day warning lol.
