funsoul Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi Folks Tired of seeing a broken link in my sig...how do I get it working? Pretty sure I screwed up by having a different nick here (scbesterman) than the regular site (funsoul). Any ideas? tia! PS- Hmmm...is it possible to change my nick here to funsoul AND get the sig working, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Surely all you need to do is copy the forum BBC code from http://hwbot.org/profile/ and it'll work. Mine looks like this: [*url=http://hwbot.org/user/themaddutchdude/][*img]http://hwbot.org/signature/u18634.png[/img][/url] Without the asterisks, of course.

Crew Don_Dan Posted January 12, 2015 Crew Share Posted January 12, 2015 I think the forum puts in the signature according to the forum name of the user, and it seems to be using the old format too. Try the one given under "Signature" on the front page and it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Mine is generated from the control panel: http://forum.hwbot.org/profile.php?do=editsignature Is that a different method, perhaps? I'm not too sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks folks! TheMadDutchDude- This is what it shows there for me: [*url=http://hwbot.org/user/funsoul/][*img]http://hwbot.org/signature/u42227.png[/img][/url] Seems correct but, as you can tell, not showing anything Don_Dan- I'm not seeing where you mean...can't find anything on the front page that says "Signature" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Very bizarre. I've made sure yours is identical to mine in every aspect and it just doesn't want to show. I'll see if it shows on another forum. Bear with me two seconds. EDIT: Nope, doesn't work on other forums too. Perhaps it is something to do with the nicknames...?

Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Glad it's sorted! Now, tell us how you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funsoul Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 1) From the main site (hwbot.org), log in and select the "My Account" icon in the upper-left of the screen. 2) Scroll about 1/2 way down the page until you reach the "Signature" section (on the right) 3) Select either "Create or Modify Signature" or "Choose another signature" 4) If you click "Choose another signature", you'll find signatures from other members of your team as well as a number of hwbot 'standard' sigs 5) Click "Choose" to use one of the signatures or click "Modify or delete" to modify or delete that sig (Modify or delete takes users to the same screen as if they'd selected "Create or modify signature" in step 2). 6) If you selected "Create or Modify Signature" in step 2 or "Modify or delete" in step 5, create/modify or delete your sig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That would make sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funsoul Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yeah...I'm 1/2 dummy, 1/2 bright...rubbed 2 braincells together and got a little spark hehe but...yeah...looking back, it should be kinda self-explanatory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Now that we know what caused it, it seems simple. The image was removed (I'm assuming) in the past and therefore it can no longer display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
