How Do I?

[+MO Outdoorfamily]

How do you insert a clickable link to your trading lists in your forum signature? I tried using HTML like I did to add clickable links to my gc.com profile that people view, but it didn't work.

 

If someone could C&P the code I could amend it to my information and hopefully get it to work I think.

Just replace the 2 end brackets with the square ones

Thanks, that worked and actually I onl had to change 2 digits form yours to change the trader number, LOL.

 

should have figured I needed those tags instead of the normal HTML tags since this board doesn't use the true HTML tags.

When you say the end brackets, do you mean {} or ( ) by these []

Go to your profile page on gc.com and put the code into the box for "forum signature" (of course change the http: address to the address you want the link to point to or you might have someone elses trade list in your signature) and save your profile changes. Then make sure you enter the forums once by clicking the link on the left side of a gc.com page so it sends your settings to the forum server.

 

One time I changed my signature but it didn't show up because I always enter the forums directly from my favorites, I had to enter once from gc.com for hte settings to change on the forum server.

 

Hope that helps.

Go into your control panel and click edit signature then go to account options and click edit my profile. Once you are there scroll down to forum signature and enter it in like this first and last bracket will be replaced from this { to this [

also make sure you edit your name rather then it saying Mystery_Ink

hope this helps.

Now see, I didn't know how to do that either, so when you don't know how and you just add the link to your profile page it comes out like mine did down below. Now I know.

[+Mystery Ink]

Now I know.

And knowing is half the battle GI JOE!

 

 

Glad you got it working eartha

not on the forums it didn't but it does work in your profile page so just copy the one you have on your profile page in the hobby section and paste it replacing the one in your signature section.
