I was reading this journal and i noticed that there were a ton of FA usernames, and it would be useful to see people’s icons and maybe have a link to their FA profile.

FA has a syntax for this, which is simply :iconUSERNAMEHERE: for both a icon and a link, :USERNAMEHEREicon: for just a icon and :linkUSERNAMEHERE: for just a link.

So i wrote a quick java program to read FA usernames from a text file and would write them to another text file formatted them how the user wanted, either icon, link, or both.

It works, but however i seemed to of been stonewalled by FA themselves. It seems that their journal rendering system only parses the first 20 of these links and ignores the rest and just leaves them as :iconwhatever: . I can understand this if there were a ton of icons and the server would have to serve all of those every time someone visited the page, but that should not be happening if they are just hyperlinks. Whatever FA…..not like its going to get fixed any time soon.

Here is the program if anyone wants it.
