No more URLs in profile signatures?

Postby bondagefreak » Mon Aug 24, 2015 5:54 pm

Hello mods and admins.

The option to have a URL in a profile signatures seems to have been removed during the last board update.
I've always used my signature photo to promote one or several of the stories I was working on, by turning by it into a "click-and-go" photo.
Ex: If you'd click on my current signature, you'd be directly forwarded to the advertised story thread.

Is there any chance this feature might be restored in the near future?

Thanks,

Thanks for that. Zanev is the man to fix that.
He is hors de combat for a few weeks (Moving house!) so I suggest you try him in about three weeks' time.
Boxer shorts are cool,
but little speedos rule!

I believe Zanev deleted these on purpose because a number of members (mostly lurkers) were posting URLs to graphic porn sites in their signatures. I kept having to weed them out for him to eliminate, and it was getting tiresome - likely to the both of us. The idea was in fact indirectly my own, as there seemed no other way to eliminate the problem. Sorry.
Dare to be different... and make a difference.

No problem Jason. If that's what it takes to keep the board clean, then so be it.

I did disable it, due to the porn reason. It was easier to prevent spammers from posting links than it was to hunt them down and delete them

And reminisce of those palmy days
I moon o'er you, Inis Mona
As long as I breathe
I'll call you my home
