Don,
I am trying to add a link to my profile for my Tajikistan hunt. I copied the link and did the HTML stuff, but it looks wrong. Where and what I am doing wrong?

Here is what I am putting in my profile -

Ross - Two answers here:
Answer 1
I'm not sure about the syntax you are trying to use; the way I add a link in the profile looks like this in the editor:



And comes out like this in the profile.

Tajikistan - 2020 - Marco Polo Sheep and Mid-Asian Ibex

My approach uses BBCODE.

Answer 2

It looks like the URL is butchered in your line of HTML code. (And there may be an extra carriage return after before "href") Removing 'target=' and '_blank' and the extra carriage return, so that it looks like:



unfortunately still appears as:

It should work (after removing the excess text) if you have permission to use HTML in your signature. I'm only using BBCODE in mine.

I hope this helps.

I guess you've sorted it out, but I'll leave my reply up in case it might helps someone else.

For what it's worth; there is some other weird behavior. If I edit the above message again, the editor will actually turn the HTML into BBCODE and it will work after that! It gets a little confusing trying to reply this way, so I will just leave the 'after before "href"' - it should be 'before "href"'

Got it. Thanks for the help!
