Title: Hyperlink in sig?
Post by: Tormuse on October 20, 2017, 03:09

Ever since I started video-recording my DRL games, I've had a link to my Youtube channel included in my sig like this:  Check out my Youtube channel for videos of me playing DRL!  :) (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXOijubEijdnrOja0kxXTKQ/videos)  Today, when I went to update my sig to include my new badges, it wouldn't let me hyperlink the text; I got an error message that said:

Code: [Select]

The following errors occurred when trying to save your profile:
The following BBC is not allowed within your signature: anchor, email, flash, ftp, html, img, size, mortem, table, url.

Did we make some changes to the forum recently or something?  It wouldn't even let me save my sig as it already was!  :o  I was able to work around it by taking out the hyperlink, but it would be nice to be able to put the "URL" line back in there to make it look less cluttered.

There have indeed been some recent changes due to the large influx of undesirable new elements under the registered members - of which disabling links in signatures was one. The permanency of each of these is not set in stone just yet, and your input on this part is noted herewith.

In the meantime, you can of course still add it as your website.

EDIT: although it would appear the ink is still in you signature, albeit in an aesthetically less pleasing way.

Exactly.  I just want it to be a little more aesthetically pleasing.  :)
