hi guys. just wanna know how i insert soundcloud in my signature. i saw a theard taht i have to use soundcloud stuf and at the end *. didn't work. did i missunderstand something?
 
just use [ SOUNDCLOUD ]FULL SONG LINK[ /SOUNDCLOUD ] without the spaces then press preview and check if it appears. if it does just hit save
 


that happens when i do it like you did describe..
 
just tried adding your song as my sig and it worked, only use the top line of my screenshot

The link to your song inadvertently gets a url tag-set wrapped around it if you are not careful when editing you sig, so you need to make sure that your soundcloud tag-set looks something like this

[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/your-username/your-song-title[/soundcloud]

if it looks like something like this then you have added a url-tag-set accidentally

[soundcloud][url=http://soundcloud.com/your-username/your-song-title]http://soundcloud.com/your username/your song title[/url][/soundcloud]

and you get the garbage as the vBulletin parser tries to create html out of the garbled tagsets.
 
I apologize for bringing up an old thread but I thought I might mention for future reference that if, when you paste the url into the soundcloud tags, the url gets pasted as a hyperlink sometimes there are errors loading the soundcloud player. Just use the 'unlink' button in the formatting toolbar.
 
I've tried the unlink and even when I do that it still gives me a blank soundcloud player. When I link it back it gives me the player but no wave file and under the soundcloud player this is what is displayed - http://soundcloud.com/rellbeats_1/you-are how do I get rid of the "> It seems like the URL is doubled, how do I fix this. Thanks in advance guys.

hmmmm, guess It worked itself out! Thanks guys
 
You have to hit the little soundcloud link down at the bottom right of the edit signature box, which will bring up the soundcloud names in brakets. Once you have that, put your cursor between the two soundclouds and insert your link to the desired soundcloud item. ****NOW HERE IS THE KEY **** Once you do that, it will make your link an actual LINK. Click on the link to place your cursor somewhere in the letter like you are about to change some letters in it and once you have your cursor blinking in there, go the the upper right of the edit signature box and you will see a small box with a red x on it. It will say unlink. Once you click that, BOOM SHAKA LAKA....There you have it folks........

Does anyone know why this code no longer works in my sig, but works in this post?

Code:
[url=https://www.soundcloud.com/highkoo][img]http://i47.tinypic.com/2dl28lv.jpg[/img][/url]

And, another question I guess, why dont the 'code' tags do what they are supposed to?

Here it is with some asterisks added so you can see it-

need to have a tech look at this I think

the CODE tagset is not for wrapping around bbcode, but for rendering what should be programming code or similar in a fixed width font


e.g.

Code:
the CODE tagset is not for wrapping around bbcode, 
but for rendering what should be programming code or similar 
in a fixed width font


to force the display of the bbcode without rendering the actual underlying html, you need to apply the noparse tagset like so

Ah yep, I got em confused. It was [noparse] I was looking for. Thanks.

Im surprised there has not been a thread about this change.
I cant be the only one using a simple image link in a sig?

I spose I will try hosting the pic somewhere else and see if that does anything.
Mods reading or should I pm one of em?

oh yes, there was a change to how signatures work - bbcode img tagset has been switched off, to force you to upload the image to the fp server in an effort to reduce the scandalous size of images that some folks were referencing (sometimes 1000px x 1000px or larger) fp is, after all, a revenue stream for its owners and such large images are a strain on its servers (even if linking to them externally)

So to fix your problem, upload your small image to fp and embed it in your sig file inside of your url tagset
