| I've never had a problem with displaying a link in my signature. Make sure you read the forum guidelines of the community first though.

Although I respect the admin and the work that they have put into their own forum I just felt really put off when this has been done to me and I did not bother to return to those forums. You look into the rules and you do not find anything to say that you cannot add your site link so you go ahead and put it in, then for it to be taken off with a pm from the admin or moderator making you feel like a naughty school kid is just a bit overboard imo. As an admin I allow my members to have their own signature as long as it's within the forum guidelines, usually the norm of what most forums have for their guidelines but I like to allow them their own personal space which is their signature and avatar and if they choose to add their website link then that is fine with me. If my members choose to click on the website links from members on my forum and go elsewhere then I can't stop them and wouldn't want to if they did leave because they must be leaving for a reason so I should be thinking more of how to make sure I am doing the best that I can for my members on my forum to stick around in the first place.

Join Date: Dec 2007 Posts: 4 Location: Cucamonga | Bionic Woman, That is a wonderful answer. I appreciate the time you took to compose the reply. I too believe what you have said and it will make me try harder to be fair to forum users. I'm just getting up and running with a new forum in the next couple of weeks. I took at look at your forum. Wow! Awesome skin and nicely laid-out. Good luck in 2008!! Regards, Coyote | ||||
