Hidden "Links" in Messages? (1 Viewer)

[spazzyfry123]

I've noticed this a couple times now. I am using the dark theme, but my mouse will just happen to catch either of these two link images below if it goes over them. They are invisible, but turn red once the cursor gets to them. When I hover over them it will present "Permanent Link."

In both instances, they were in threads referencing a potential scammer, so I'm steering clear of clicking them. I just haven't seen these before and given they are hidden...

Not sure, the links seems to simply redirect back to the original thread.

I'd like to know WHY this account is claimed in a couple posts to be a scammer....posting "the sky is falling" doesn't give me anything to work with to track down if it really is/isn't compromised.

Thanks. I haven't noticed the links prior to the upgrade, but it may just be the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon... Don't want to get caught in a scammed hot link is all.

And agreed. It gives seemingly false negative light to a longtime member. I couldn't find anything that looked suspicious...
