How to Fix Your Signature Easy! NOW with VIDEO TUTORIAL My Contest Entries (Bottom) Hello, fellow writers! I have noticed that some newbies have had trouble hyperlinking their signature or their signatures go to their stories rather than their forum posts which makes it hard to make comments. The instructions are below and also I have included a VIDEO TUTORIAL with recorded screen capture. 1. Create your forum post following the subject rules. Add your description and hyperlink to the location of your story (wordpress, blogger, google docs, etc.) using the globe and paperclip icon as usual. 2. Copy the link to that forum post. * 3. Go to your Member Control Panel, to Edit Profile, scroll down the page to edit your signature. You need to use BBcode brackets to make hyperlinks in your signature [ ] You put the address like this: [URL= webaddresshere ] Text/Title Here [/URL] Here is mine as an example: [URL=http://forums.nycmidnight.com/rd1-heat10-mindful-things-spy_topic11946_post134726.html]Mindful Things R1 HEAT10 [/URL] *Bonus: Save space by shortening long web addresses. go to tinyurl.com paste in your link and it will shorten it for you Turn: http://forums.nycmidnight.com/rd1-heat10-mindful-things-spy_topic11946_post134726.html Into: http://tinyurl.com/j2tl3ud two clickable links, you must use "short links" to save on extraneous characters.

Thank you I'd been trying to add HTML tags to my signature, with no luck.

One of my first experiences with social media was on this kind of firum, but OMG it seems so backwards now!

This one too. This is my fourth year in NYCM (and I-don't-know-how-manyth comp), and I still have to look up the instructions every time.

Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong (always), but wasn't there a thread a while back that said your work was vulnerable if you put a link with your signature, because it could be viewed and copied without logging in ... I never have because of that, and figure the master lists in both comps do just nicely. I'm sure one of the old chums like Patsy or Sootfoot will remember ... or maybe it was over on Screenplay. |

They seek him here, they seek him there, those damned writers seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven or is he in hell, that damned elusive Scarlet Screenwriter! (Oh, phuck, that doesn't even rhyme!) |

Bump for 2019 To answer the above question: Never direct link your story in your signature. Hyperlink to your FORUM POST which can then be linked to your story wherever you have it (password protected blog if desired, too).

Is anyone else having trouble getting the signature to take? I can go directly to the forum post from the preview, but it's not showing up on any of my posts. Does it take a while to update? It's been about 30-60 minutes.
