Overriding hyperlinks???

Link | by miffy on 2006-03-28 10:51:06

I tried to do the thing where you link to a picture for the nickname, because it said I could use html stuff or something, and I wanted to do fancy text for my nickname (I'd drawn it) but then it said something like "you may not over ride a hyperlink in your nickname." I don't even know what that MEANS, much less did whatever the computer accused me of on purpose. Could someone tell me what I did wrong so I'll know what not to do? It said something about being able to use html stuff, so I tried to link to my image at photobucket. Then I even tried resizing the image bacause I thought it might be too big... Did I do something wrong somehow??? What does it mean to "over ride a hyperlink?" It sounds like something out of a war movie. Is it illegal??? Help!!

Because your nickname's supposed to link to your profile only. If yae override it with a different link, then we will never be able to view your profile page. However, yae can use links on your signatures. ^^;

EDIT: Oh, in the 'about me' box as well!

Okay, thank you...but it says by the modify nickname thing " This is how your name that will appear in the forum. You can use HTML tags!
Warning: Avatars may be no larger than 25px in height! (hint: use height="25")"...what does it mean?? At DeviantART.com I have an avatar, so I thought that I could here...and you seem to have something like an avatar in your reply to my question...how can I do that??

"At DeviantART.com I have an avatar, so I thought that I could here..."
First and foremost, this is Gendou.com, not DeviantART.com. We have a different set of rules and guidelines in here.
"but it says by the modify nickname thing " This is how your name that will appear in the forum. You can use HTML tags!"
<img src="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f283/maya-nee/Artwork/AMava-00D1.gif"> <--- I believe that's the HTML tag.
"Warning: Avatars may be no larger than 25px in height! (hint: use height="25")"...what does it mean??'
<img src="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f283/maya-nee/Artwork/AMava-00D1.gif" height="25"> <---
It sets the image by 25px high. However, it's not needed in my case because my avatar is originally at 25 already.
"and you seem to have something like an avatar in your reply to my question...how can I do that??"
See my image tag in #2. If not, give me the image address yae want for your avatar and I'll see what I can do.

^^;
