Ok, I feel silly. 
When I paste the line, the word LINK doesn't appear. I get this;
Read my Round 1 story titled YOUR STORY TITLE

If I paste with link, I don't get the words 'Read my Round 1' or "YOUR STORY TITLE', I get this;

If I replace the word LINK with the shortened link for my post (http://bit.ly/3qudqoQ), I get this;

Not sure what that gets me, but I suppose I'll know once I post this.

Please help this hopeless technophobe

Hi Calliope_Calls, I had this problem as well. 

If you look at your profile where you would enter the link, there is a little BB Codes hyperlink off to the left under Signature. Click on that, and it will give you the actual syntax for making a link. 

Images and Links
[IMG]http://example.com/smiley.gif[/IMG]
[URL=http://www.example.com]My Link[/URL]My Link
[URL]http://www.example.com[/URL]http://www.example.com
[EMAIL=me@example.com]My Email[/EMAIL]My Email

I hope this helps. Good luck!

I'm so glad I found a thread! Thank you for posting! 

I have successfully added two of my links. Now that I want to add a third it's saying that all links to the forum are "NO FOLLOW" links. Even in the place where I edit the signature it says this. So it breaks this third link every time. I see other people have linked tk their stories in that forum thread (micro 250 2021) so that's not it.

I'm stumped! I didn't have any NO FOLLOW issues with the other links in my signature! 

Any help/advice is most welcome!
I know soon I need to create an author archive but for now I really want my current competition story in my signature! 

Thank you!

Hi Fluffy Peanuts!
I don't know if anyone helped you already but I just saw your issue at the end of this how-to video.
It's an issue of too many characters. This shows you how to shorten it.

Cheers!

Aughhhh!!! Newbie error alert! How in the bloody hell can i link my SS forum story link to my signature?  I've followed the instructions, trying a variety of different ways and its not working.  What am I doing wrong?!?!?

Any advice? 
*********
paste the line below and follow these steps:
      Read my 1st Round story titled YOUR STORY TITLE
      LINK=the link to your story.  Every forum post has a link, all you need to do is copy it from the browser bar.  For example, the link to this post is https://forums.nycmidnight.com/topic45458_post478754.html
      Since there is a limit to the number of characters allowed in your signature, you will need to shorten your link. You can go to http://www.bit.ly to create a shorter link.
      Post the shortened bit.ly version to replace "LINK".
      Adjust the text as necessary.  The text you can edit is "Read my 1st Round story titled " and "YOUR STORY TITLE".  Please keep in mind that "YOUR STORY TITLE" will have the link attached to it.
      Save your profile details and you should now have a signature that reads "Read my 1st Round story titled YOUR STORY TITLE"
