general questions About Contact Information

Is there something wrong with the contact information in the profile? ^^;;; cause the link in there doesn't work at all ^^;;;;;

Hey there!

 

I had a look at your contact information, and I think the problem is just that you may have entered them incorrectly. All you have to do is enter your username for each one in your profile settings. ^^ The only field that will accept a URL is the Website URL one. The others only need a username. Hope this helps!

By Twitter and Deviantart you only need to type in your name, if you type in your complete link, it will not work.

 

By Youtube you need a Custom Url, so that your link works.

And to become a Custom Url, you either need to have 500 Subscribers or 100 Google Plus Followers.

I already had that Problem by myself.

You're not supposed to enter the full URL, only the part of it unique to your profile. For example, instead of http://sweetiebot3000.deviantart.com/ it should just be sweetiebot3000

This is exactly the issue,

When you introduce information on the Contact Information boxes, they are automatically identified, and are redirected towards the website in question. This is a very common mistake that many people makes, and whose solution is really easy.

 

Like Dune said, all you have to do is to introduce only the name. For example, your deviantart link is the following:

http://sweetiebot3000.deviantart.com/

You placed the full link in your profile, which causes it to redirect to this direction:

http://http//sweetiebot3000.deviantart.com/.deviantart.com/

But, if you put only the name, which is "sweetiebot3000", it will correctly redirect to deviantart. This applies to mostly all the Contact Information boxes, like Twitter or Youtube. For Youtube you need a custom IRL, which, like Dune mentioned, can only be obtained once you have at least 500 Subscribers or 100 Google Plus Followers, or else it won't work.

 

Edit: the member has fixed her profile, and all names now properly lead to the respective pages, which means that the issue has been solved, which is a green light to lock this. Have a nice day!
