resolved Problem with linking Contact Information

[Jonny Music 3,303]

All there is on my YouTube and Steam info are the names, whenever I tried to include the actual direct link, errors show up (and for YouTube, it says it doesn't exist when really, it does!). Can anypony help me please? Thank you for your attention.

Johnny, are you talking about the contact links in your profile?

Yes that's correct. Could you help me with that please?

Your Steam ID, did you enter it with spaces? If so that is the issue, and likely the issue with the YouTube account name.

 

For example, my steam id is jericmlp and the full URL is http://steamcommunity.com/id/jericmlp however my display name is Jeric. Login and check the url. In your profile you will also see the custom URL you can choose. the text field that you can edit as seen in the below screen cap should be what you enter here on MLP Forums in your profile.

 

 

Same with You Tube. As you know you start with a horrible assigned url that looks like this

http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNimhyukHP5tdka3a9zi9Nw

But you create a custom url and it would look like this

http://www.youtube.com/channel/deathtotomtherock

No spaces. I would need to enter 'deathtotomtherock' into the text field in my MLP Forums Profile

YouTube, create a custom URL instructions can be found here

 

For your steam ID ... replace what you entered with this jonnygames007 ... sorry I didn't mean for you to enter the entire URL. Make sure you have no spaces.

I did what you asked for the Steam ID. I tried it, it's still not working. I really don't know what's the problem with it. :-(

 

And I can't seem to find the option on the current YouTube settings to create my own custom URL for the YouTube link.

 

How do I fix this!? >_<
