unless I am not understanding - there was a "*", an emoji representation of a star in front of the title of this thread, as a leading character. it's gone now
Ah, excellent.

Very pleased to see that this has taken place.

Now, to my mind, gold stars do have their place (which, for me, usually occurred when an essay submitted in primary school had been returned by the teacher; naturally, at the time, I was delighted, but that was then, and this is now).

More to the point, I do not think that their place is to be found in a thread title.

Ah, thank you for this! Actually, yes, that really would not have belonged there, anyway, so it is good that presumably the OP or someone else removed it. An emoji?????!!!!! Why would anyone have even done that in the first place? Clearly that individual is not knowledgeable about some critical components when it comes to hierarchical structure online. For one thing it would've interrupted the normal structural sequence within MR of the POTD threads, and there really would be no valid reason for having done this/inserted the emoji in the first place.

Given the nature of this site, it isn't a surprise that many people who participate on MR are very literate when it comes to the whole underpinnings of computer language as well as what works on the internet/worldwide web or, more specifically, hierarchical structure of content within sites positioned on the internet......

But of course not all members of MR have the same level of experience, background, actual day-to-day basic and beyond basic computer knowledge.....and it is situations such as this when problems arise.

Anyway, I'm glad that this particular error and situation with a very popular thread on MR has been resolved!

Time to get back to the purpose of this thread, which is sharing images.....
