Hi everyone,
Since it's been 10 years since Debt-Free Wannabes launched, we thought it would be nice to celebrate by allowing links to your fantastic Debt-Free diaries in your signatures.
We've not allowed this previously as we try our hardest to keep the forum free of advertising, but seeing as this is just another section of the forum and it's full of lovely, supportive people we thought it might be nice if you guys shared your diaries and showed off your successes!
So just to clear things up...
What you can do
What you can't do
That's it! If you have any questions, or need any help just ask below
If you're not sure how to do it, or it doesn't work use this by SeduLOUs below

What you can do
- Include a link to your Debt-free diary in your signature
What you can't do
- Post links to any external sites. If you see anyone abusing this, please click the report button as usual
- Use short links such as bit ly or tiny url
- Disrupt the flow of a thread by having large text/links
That's it! If you have any questions, or need any help just ask below
If you're not sure how to do it, or it doesn't work use this by SeduLOUs below
{URL="https://www.mydebtfreediary.com"}My debt free diary{/URL}
Replace all { and } with [ and ] (I had to use a different bracket otherwise the code would 'work' and you wouldn't see what to type!)
Replace https://www.mydebtfreediary.com with the link to your thread (keeping the quotation marks)
Replace My debt free diary with whatever text you want to be shown in the signature to be clicked on.
End result in preview/saved mode should look like this:
My debt free diary

It doesn't allow me to do this. Says due to previous link misuse, the forum doesn't allow links in signatures.
Help!!Saving for that dream holiday0 -
Yeah still wont let me do it, is there a specific way to do it?
EDIT: The only way it lets me is if I remove http:// so it doesn't auto recognise it as a hyperlink. Like:

Works fine for me. Are you using the hyperlink forum code? Just pasting it in there won't work...0
