Signature

[Marianne]

So, our Connect signatures were not migrated along with our user profiles.

Easy - simply recreate this in the new profile, right?

Not.

On Connect my signature was a neat Hyperlink in a different, smaller font:

Handy NetBackup Links 

I cannot create a signature as a hyperlink on VOX and the font is the same size as the rest of the post.

The URL is not displayed as a hyperlink.

...I don't even know where to set my signature!

[Marianne]

In your profile, go to 'View / Manage User Settings'.

Select 'Personal Information' tab.

Thanks Marianne, I tried the same thing and couldn't do so...

At which point do I simply give up?

3 weeks of unanswered posts....

If you paste embed code into your signature area you'll get the desired results. I'm not a coder or anything, but I just experiemented with pulling the embed code from a youtube video and it loaded fine with my post.

Thanks Ryan

I will again in the morning from my laptop...

[Marianne]

Maybe I'm the stupid one.

I tried to edit my signature.

When I paste this in the signature field:

Handy NetBackup Links  

The result is: 

Handy NetBackup Links 

No embedded code, Hyperlink or whatever you want to call it. 

Just plain text.

If I'm doing it wrong - please tell me.

try pasting this in the field - 

<a href="https://vox.veritas.com/t5/Backup-Recovery-Community-Blog/Handy-NetBackup-links/ba-p/790200">Handy NetBackup Links</a>

Thanks Ryan

That worked,but SURELY there has to be an easier way?

Are you available to help everyone who do not understand how to generate html/embed code?

Or maybe post a howto link in the "i" button next to the Signature field?

[rkingsland]

From what I can tell that is the only way. There are open boards on the Lithium community asking for a WYSIWYG signature editor (like what we have in these posts) going back to 2011... Maybe it'll be a future feature, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I want to mark your post as Solution, but we both know this not the real answer... it should NOT be this complicated...
