Maximilian Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hello everyone! Whenever I type Paint.Net within a Facebook status or comment, the name is automatically parsed by Facebook and turned into a link to a paints manufacturing company's website, a company by the name Warren Paint & Color Co. I find this parsing extremely annoying as I am trying to tell my Facebook contacts about the software I use for my art and not about this company with which I have nothing to do Does anyone know how to override this silly parsing, if it were possible? I suspect there may be an easy obvious way to do it which I am missing out on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Sometimes it parses out to an auto-link, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't seen full consistency on this. I find it's best to just put a space in there, like "paint .net" or "paint. net". You could also use a "zero width space" Unicode character, although this feels like major overkill... http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/200B/index.htm There's probably a way to type it out with the keyboard using Alt+####, but you can also use Character Map (charmap.exe), which is built-in to Windows.

BoltBait Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 When FB offers to link something I'm typing, I usually just press ESC key and it doesn't link. 1 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
