+Hick@Heart Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I'm Trying to make a link to my blog on my forum signature. I can only get it to post text. I tried the HTML way of <a href="http://www.geocaching.com">text</a> What else can I try?

(Only TrailGators will understand that) When I typed it way, it made it a link so you couldn't see what I wanted you to see. Anyhow, I had this exact same issue a couple of years ago so I was glad to help! Edit: Nice blog by the way! Edited January 16, 2008 by TrailGators
btrodrigues Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Thanks too. A quick search over the forum when HTML didn't work solved my problem. This kind of info should be present in help popups aside the relevant fields...

+DavidMac Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 There's actually a domain example.com which is reserved for just that- an example . As a general rule, forums use BBCode in place of HTML. Some of the formatting tags are similar, just with brackets [] instead of <>. Forum signatures are the same way. You can even use BBcode tags in cache logs, too.

btrodrigues Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 That extra "/" at the end may be messing things up... No luck... ISDN :/ Actually, this might be some sort of caching issue at Groundspeak and some synchronization problems . I changed the signature to something completely different and it still shows the first version. I'll try again later, except if the signature says I am a small furry creature (in which case it means this is working properly)

I did a trial of the item above...and it worked...I had your sig line for a bit!!! Closed any windows I had open with the forum...logged into gc.com and edited my profile then entered the forums through the gc.com links...
btrodrigues Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 That's it. Thank you all. One needs to log out of the forum, change the profile on geocaching.com and then log back in to see the changes. It's strange, but it's true.
