I am trying to add my youtube channel as an embedded link in my signature like Medicine Man's Youtube Channel rather than a hyperlink like https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYg...2lBR2SEaponOXw
I am able to add a video but not a hyperlink or embed text with a hyperlink as you might see in my current signature. Any help would be appreciated.
[ulr="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYgdGXhKo2lBR2SEaponOXw"]Medicine Man's Youtube Channel[/ulr]
That's the code you want. The address in the "" is the site you want to link to. The text between the two tags is what the link should display as. Change both ULR in the parenthesis to URL to enable the link.

Works when I do it. Perhaps BB code is somehow turned off for you? Shoot a PM to Octothorpesaurus or another admin and they should be able to look into it for you.
Huh. I wonder if its a donating member thing. I pm'd Octo. Thanks
If you get an answer, please post it here. I seem to be having the same exact problem even though I followed the directions shown above. Thanks.

Here's how to name a link anything you want (like Medicine Man's Youtube Channel)
Type the name you want. In this example, I'll rename a link the HF Home Page. Example: HF HOMPAGE (I deliberately misspelled so I could show you the process.)
Then, on another screen, go to the page you want to link to and copy its URL.
Then, highlight the name (HF HOMEPAGE). With the name highlighted, click on the earth with the link icon above. Paste the URL in the box that appears and hit OK. VOILA!!!
HF HOME PAGE

Surely, God never did.
I'll offer this as it may give some insight .....

Hey, Shug! I was just looking for your excellent "how-to navigate HF" series to post a link! Thanks, buddy.

The short answer is "yes" you need to be a donating member.
The reason silentorpheus's post worked is because he is a donating member.
