Why isn't vBcode Working?

rick · 12-15-2006, 04:00 AM

Just need to know how to get vBcode working. None of my links show properly.
My Code is correct.

Hi there,

It does work, you can't be doing it properly. Look at my links on my signature bar

.

OK. This is how they are in my sig. Would you tell me what's wrong please?

"v" is actually a U.

This is because you need 10 posts to get your links live. Check out the Rules.

Quote:

All links you submit, either in a post or in your signature will be inactive (not clickable) until you reach a minimum of 10 posts at which point all your new and previous links will become live.

rick · 12-15-2006, 07:42 PM

Oh, I thought I had enough posts because my sig links where working fine a few weeks ago. I even got in trouble for having three links in it.

Guess they should work now. Thanks for your help.

temi · 12-16-2006, 02:30 PM

I wondered why mine was not working too but after I attain certain number of post it appeared.

rick · 12-17-2006, 12:34 AM

Yea. Apparently this is a new thing. They're also placing the Nofollow on links until you have 50 posts. I think this is also new.

I guess it's a good idea to stay updated on the rules.

giovannicosta · 12-17-2006, 02:07 PM

what are no follow links

rick · 12-18-2006, 03:25 AM

NoFollow is an attribute that tells the search engines not to follow the link. With this set, the SE's would not count it as an incoming link to your website. It's an anti spam measure.

Luckily for you, you have more than 50 posts.

Katey · 12-18-2006, 02:37 PM

Hi there,

Once your signature link is active (after 10 posts), format them like this, but replace "V" with "U".

That will make the links appear like this;

I just noticed that even delicio.us social bookmarking uses NoFollow to stop sites from getting some PageRank out of them.
