technical issue Can't Link My Youtube to my Profile

[Seraph 128]

I wanted to link my youtube page to my profile page, but it doesn't seem that I'm able to.

 

See, if you didn't create a Youtube Channel before 2014, then you don't have a custom URL for your youtube channel with your Username on it. I think this might be part of the problem.

 

Could I get some help with this, I'd like to link my main youtube page to my profile for all of you but at the moment I can not. I hope this issue isn't too difficult to solve.

I already created a Topic about this Issue a few years back and no, there is nothing the Stuff can do.

 

You simply have to wait, until you get a custom Url.

 

But you can put your Youtube Link in your " About me " Page, than the Link should work.

Sadly, what Supergirl Rarity said is true, @Seraph. This is due for how the links are generated when you insert a link on the boxes.

 

https://www.youtube.com/user/(insert what you put on the box)

 

The best solution is basically linking it on your About Me, where this does no longer apply, and it will redirect to your channel.

Well According to Youtube, I can't get a Custom URL till I'm 30, which is an arbitrary number I might add.

So I'd link just this monster of a URL in there?

I mean I could always link that long ID number but I don't think that'll go the way I want.

Sadly it doesn't work like that, due for how the linking process redirects to "User", rather than "Channel", which will just lead to a screen saying that "This channel does not exist"

 

And for display's sake, you can always make an hyperlink to avoid the problem of how long your link is, like this.

How to hyperlink? Either:

-Use this bbcode:

Insert text here[code]

-Or you can use the Link option on the text editor, where you highlight the text that you want to hyperlink and you click on here:

And you will be given the option to paste a link, where it becomes self explanatory.

 

If you have any other doubts, don't have fear to ask though! :>

I just edited my "About Me" Page did that work?

 

Also[b]@[member=Supergirl Rarity][/b], can you see it and click on it?

Yes, it did work properly. I clicked right now in your hyperlink and got redirected to your channel :>

 

If there are no further issues, I can call it a resolved issue and close this topic, but if you have any other issues, don't be afraid to make another topic! Have a good day c:
