How to link build thread? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BOXER957 · 09-05-2013, 07:27 AM

I notice some people when leaving a message have a link to their build thread. I'd like to do this and encourage anyone else, if they don't have a build thread to start one and link it. we're all interested in who does what and any new/ different ideas. How do I go about linking my build thread to my messages/posts?

Well.. If I understood you right you want to add a signature to your posts, If so you add them from the User CP (control panel) from the menu on top. And on left hand side a bit down you have it.

That is how I did it. Got to User CP and on the left is edit signature. You put in your signature a link to you build page. It was easiest for me to have two browsers open so I could be in my Edit Signature section on one and then copy and paste the link into my signature.

Well, I copied and pasted and ended up with this......What am I missing?

You have to use the link icon when inserting the link. Here is a picture of that icon.

When you click on that icon a pop up window should come up. Delete anything that is in there and paste your build link into the box and click ok. PM me if you are still having problems.

That also looks like your build title. You need the URL which is in the browser header and starts with "67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/.............."

Couldn't have done it without your help.....almost couldn't do it with your help

I've been called a lot of things in my lifetime but "Smart" ain't one of them!
