Or just another place for spammers to post their rubbish.as a admin forum i would think a place on your profile to share what all sites you admin linked to an icon on postbit under your avatar would be an obvious improvement
Wasn't there a field for that on vB at one point? I seem to vaguely recall something like that (I might be wrong, I have been before ).
There's the other argument that posting on a forum doesn't automatically give the allowance to advertise links to third-party sites.6. signatures don't show on mobile
I like that argument,There's the other argument that posting on a forum doesn't automatically give the allowance to advertise links to third-party sites.

On this particular subject, not personally, no Unless you count the amusement of having fun debating it with you.don't we all have something to gain?
Which takes us to using someone's site for free advertising. That raises a question - would you pay to be allowed to display the link in your postbit?Traffic to the site in my signature trumps my need for personal satisfaction of someone “liking” my content

I don't know what the prices are here. In general, if it was an option (I don't have any say on whether it would become one or not lol) say a stand-alone option, is it something you'd pay for?I inquired about sponsorship here and it was 10 times the price i charged on my big board with 400-600 members logged in 24/7
Nope, ill barter my time and efforts in exchange for itI don't know what the prices are here. In general, if it was an option (I don't have any say on whether it would become one or not lol) say a stand-alone option, is it something you'd pay for?

How? A url is a url. If someone posted a url in there, unless it was checked, no one would know what it went to. You couldn't restrict it to only urls ending in /forum because not all communities use forum as their link to it. So what would stop someone from throwing in some random url?Would be best if the link was required to go directly to the forum. That would really minimize spam
Might be best to stick a few requirements on the ability to include a URL in the home page field. After five posts or so, you generally have a good idea of what kind of member someone will be.
Maybe even have a little timer too, so they need to stick around for say, 2 hours to get the ability as well. Shoots down spammers posting a bunch of rubbish as quickly as possible.
This link to their home page would probably be hidden in mobile like the other info there so that part of the argument doesn't hold up
Xon has a custom profile permissions add-on which should help with something like this in regards to allowing specific users to link their home page. I'm actually thinking more of displaying a link to their showcase items there where we'd ideally want the majority of the users' site promotions to go on.

could also do a confirmation/validation by having them install a .txt in root dir of the site they are linking too, shouldn't be hard to figure out how to do that. i could do on invision because cross platform validation is built in by defaultsomeone would narc them out after a few posts.
