Smilies as Links

I ran into an interesting bug/fluke the other day. This happened to one of the guys working on our Service Desk. Jonatan (our Service Desk hero) is homed on one of my 2013 pools and is using the 2013 client. Dana is one of our end users, and is homed on a 2010 pool and uses the 2010 client.

While they were on IM working through an issue, every link that Dansa IM's came across on Jonatan's client as a smiley. We do have links enabled, and it didn't matter if it was an email address or URL.


In Dana's chat window, and in Jonatan's Conversation History everything appeared normal. Links other users would send him would appear and work fine. Restarting Jonatan's Lync client didn't resolve the issue either.


This is the first time I have had this reported. I'm still not sure what caused this to happen, but figured I would share anyway.

Fun Fact:
During the initial compilation of the Oxford English Dictionary, the largest contributor of more than ten thousand words was Dr. W.C. Minor, an American Civil War veteran who was an inmate in an asylum for the criminally insane.
