CHANGE ALL YOUR HYPERLINKS IN YOUR SIGNATURE LINE 4-12-2022

Ok everyone, since we moved the forum site to the new VBulletin servers, PREVIOUS signatures to 4-4-2022 that had links to articles or posts probably no longer work and need to be changed ASAP. All hyperlinks that start with https://www.afnash.com OR https://www.nroa2003.com OR links starting with https://www.nroa2003.com/forum/forum/ need to be changed whether working now or not. As soon as I take the re-directs off those domains your links will no longer work, so change them now please.

Everyone needs to change these hyperlinks themselves as there is no way for me to go in and check everyone's signatures and make these changes.Please follow the instructions below to make these changes. If you have any questions please reply to this post.

1. On the very top toolbar, you will see your forum name with a down arrow to the right side of your user name.

2. Click on your forum name and choose "User Settings. This sill take you to your personal account control panel where you can make changes to your signature as well as other features.

3. Scroll down this page about half way to a section called "Conversation Detail Options, Visible Post Elements".

4. Under "Visible Post Elements" your will see "Show Signatures" and "Show Avatars". Click these on if you haven't already. Under these two clickable boxes is where you will find the "Edit Post Signature" link.

5. Click the "edit Post Signatures" link. This will bring up a popup box with the contents of your signature in a text format (letters and symbols).

6. Find the text containing your hyperlinks. They will be inside of the BB code and in the middle of brackets like this [ ]. I can't include these brackets in these instructions as the server will transform them into hyperlinks and hide all that I am try to tell you.

They will look something like this:

1: "https://www.nroa2003.com/forum/filedata/fetch?id=246576"]My 27-5l Manual

OR

2. "https://www.nroa2003.com/forum/forum/filedata/fetch?id=246576"]My 27-5l Manual


7. Copy the entire hyperlink as listed above and paste it somewhere you can keep it until you make the changes below and make sure the changes you make work before deleting them. This is what we call a backup in case you do something incorrectly. If you do not back up these links first, and change them and have a mistake, don't start crying to anybody but yourself.


8. Make the following changes to the hyperlink line that looks like yours:

1; You need to change the first part of this coding from (https://www.nroa2003.com) to (https://466bc409fc54-005959.vbulletin.net)

The end result will look like this https://466bc409fc54-005959.vbulletin.net/forum/filedata/fetch?id=246576"]My 27-5l Manual

OR

2. You need to change the first part of this coding from (https://www.nroa2003.com/forum) to (https://466bc409fc54-005959.vbulletin.net)

The end result will look like this https://466bc409fc54-005959.vbulletin.net/forum/filedata/fetch?id=246576"]My 27-5l Manual


7. Pay very close attention to detail as even one character off or missing will make the entire link not work.

8. What you are doing is making sure that hyperlinks point to the new domain location of https://466bc409fc54-005959.vbulletin.net, and in the second case changing the domain location and also eliminating the double "/forum" which makes browsers look for another /forum location that does not exist.

As stated above, if you have any issues or questions please post your comment as a reply in this post.

Thanks All...... Shotgun

Thanks! Got that done and signature works. But, I notice that all the links to photos in the posts the signature links to do not work. Is that something that will be fixed site wide eventually?

I must be missing something. When I edit Post Signature all that comes up is my signature without any codes BB or [ ] anywhere. My browser is Home - Northwood RV Owners Association Forum (vbulletin.net) 466bc409fc54-005959.vbulletin.net/forum/message-board/message-board-support-questions/

What am I doing wrong?

In that edit box, the top left button, (when hovered over says 'source"). Need to click that to change to the view where you can see the code.

Here is a screenshot of the button you need to click:

Hi Glen,

I don't see any hyperlinks in your Signature like the blue ones in Will's Signature in the post above. Unless you put a hyperlink in your signature there is nothing you need to do.

Cheers

EXACTLY, If you don't have any hyperlinks you will not see any of the BB code listed above, and there is nothing to change...
