Question about Forum signature

Post by Walter Stettner »

Does anybody have an explanation for that?

When I use a link to my website from the signature field of my profile, the link either doesn't work at all, or it takes you to a totally different site. When I type the link manually it works just fine.

Here is the test:
www.lloydgreentribute.com
www.austriansteelguitar.at.tf


That is typed manually, and here is the same link as it pops up if I use the signature field:

Maybe it has something to do with the free domain I am using for the Austrian Steel website. When I edited above post and added the second web address, it completely screwed up my signature profile. See above, the Lloyd Green link doesn't appear as link anymore.

I have corrected the signature profile one more time, here it comes...

I give up, still doesn't work. Maybe somebody has a clue what's going on here...
