Really noobish question

Postby Nine Volt » 07 Sep 2012 15:33

Hi all, really noobish question here:
I can't view or use bbcode in my signature. Additionally, there is no full editor. I can view it and use it just fine here, but when I go to my signature it just doesn't work. I've checked everything I can think of, and it just doesn't let me change it. BBcode is set to enabled by default too. Clicking on the options thing just takes me to the BBCode FAQ, which doesn't mention this issue.

So... how I fix?

Guess i do not understand your question... BB Code? Are you simply trying to do hyperlinks? I don't see that you have any signature currently.

If so the formatting for my signature for example would be this:

<url=http://soundcloud.com/dj-p0n-3>My Soundcloud</url>, <url=http://www.youtube.com/user/thefreewave>My YouTube</url> <-subscribe & say hi, it won't hurt i promise :D

<url=http://mylittleremix.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4619>Stop the Spam</url>
<url=http://bronymusic.com/>Brony Music.com</url> <- I Run This :)

except with < and > being [ and ]. Hope that is what you are after.

Be aware that mods have said they will edit large signatures so if you had an enormous one maybe they turned bb code off. You'd have to ask a mod in that case what to do next.

I'm trying to do the thing you did with your signature, with the names that you click on that take you to a site. I know how to do it, it was working until earlier today. I took it off because it wasn't working, but I'll put it back on so you can see. I don't know if it is just me or if the links work for everyone else. My sig wasn't large, just link to my Soundcloud, Youtube, Twitter, and Bandcamp along with a recent track. I tried to update the track and put in a link to my Twitter, but it wouldn't let me even if I typed the code in manually.

IDK, I'll probably ask a mod.

I'm having the same problem, which is why my links are just URLs at the moment. Not sure why that's happening.

We're currently revising how signatures work, since so many of you guys insist on having ludicrously large ones lately. Makkon should have that sorted soon.

I have re-enabled bbcode for signatures now.

If this is abused (videos, walls of text, lots of links, too many soundcloud embeds) it will be removed again.

and then you will be added to the list.

Try re-enabling your signature and it should work (refer to above post). : P

Still not working for me, unless I'm either stupid or actually added to.... THE LIST.

Yep. It still says bbcode is off in the corner. Also I can't access the full editor, so I can't click the soundcloud embed, youtube embed, etc. buttons. I can do it here, just not in my sig.
