    Question Links on Postings & Spam

    Do the links at the bottom of these postings qualify as spam?

    I notice that people list their website at the bottom of these postings. Is that alright?:question:

    It's not spam. Many of the people that have links in their signatures have contributed a lot to the forum. It's also a nice way of seeing what people are working on.

    However, if someone came to the forum making meaningless posts purely to promote a prominent link in their sig, that would obviously be spam.

    Yes, basic links to your own sites are ok around here. As Chromate says, its useful to be able to refer to your sites, and see what other people have produced.

    Afffiliate links, or anything like that, in your sig are not a good thing.

    You need to put
    Code:
    [ url = http://www.site.com/]link text[/url]
    Maybe without the spaces at the start around 'url' and '=' - that was the only way to get it to show the code, not convert it to a link!
