They seemed a bit strange but he/she/it had hidden links in the posts so the account was deleted. In case anyone wonders what happened to their helpful replies.

I didn't notice the posts...perhaps I would have paid more attention if it were Ron Weasley.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.

I've never met a pig I didn't like, as long as you have some salt and pepper.

One of the post was a copy of East Coast Jim's thread about RGBWW Leds and AWNEIL commented that it was a copy, then I checked his other posts and discovered hidden links so off with his head!

On another forum I admin we often find replies like this, which when you google the reply text you find it is a cut-and-paste from elsewhere just with added links.

#1 Hardware Problem? https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/...

#2 Hardware Problem? Read AVR042.

#3 All grounds are not created equal

#4 Have you proved your chip is running at xxMHz?

#5 "If you think you need floating point to solve the problem then you don't understand the problem. If you really do need floating point then you have a problem you do not understand."

I did also notice that name similarity.

 

Didn't spot any links, though

Top Tips:

  1. How to properly post source code - see: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment... - also how to properly include images/pictures
  2. "Garbage" characters on a serial terminal are (almost?) invariably due to wrong baud rate - see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-communication
  3. Wrong baud rate is usually due to not running at the speed you thought; check by blinking a LED to see if you get the speed you expected
  4. Difference between a crystal, and a crystal oscillator: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment...
  5. When your question is resolved, mark the solution: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment...

Neither did I - Perhaps they were invisible to muggles.

Apparently js is one. ;)

The links were on the 2nd post about charging batteries?? They were in black so not easily noticeable (they used to put them in White after the text)

 

Once you go to the Edit the post all is revealed.

You're meaning: www .avrfreaks.net  ??

 

 

 

 

edit: added a space after the www so it would not be recognized as a link.

Additional trickery must be needed to keep the site from recognizing and flagging hidden (white font) links.
