Signature Skype Link Error
I would like to add a link to my Skype profile in my signature.
I am using Windows 10.
I've tested opening other people's Skype links inside signatures, and it works fine.
I am trying to make a URL named "Skype" with my Skype URL.
When I put my own link, it turns blue but different than normal links and isn't a link at all!
Then when I add http:// it works but opens a blank page.
I've tried copying links from other users and editing only their username to mine, and then the code doesn't even work at all.
What am I doing wrong?
My signature doesn't have this error itself currently, I put it in.

Thanks for spotting the error.

Re: Signature Skype Link Error
it's honestly tolerable, although that's coming from someone who's the son of a graphic designer so my opinion is very skewed
please take this to PMs if you want to talk more, we're just cluttering the topic now

Re: Signature Skype Link Error
There is no need to include your contact information in your signature since you can click the little speech bubble next to "Contact" in the profile beside posts and it pops up with all your contact links that you've entered in your profile. Putting it in your signature too is redundant and takes up room.
As for your banner, it's rather hard to read, at least on my monitor. The colors you chose are too close together.

Re: Signature Skype Link Error
Is the text hard to read or the colors?
Should I change the font?

Should I make certain text bigger?

What can I add to decorate my banner?

Re: Signature Skype Link Error
I'm gonna agree with Twiddle here. You can remove all those links in your signature since they can all be found on your profile already.
As for the banner, I can't really say. I'm not big into design.

Re: Signature Skype Link Error
That's fine, but you have all the other ones that do work in your signature as well.

Re: Signature Skype Link Error
I think you're missing what I'm saying. I'm saying keep the ones that don't work on your profile in your signature and then remove the rest that do work since they are already on your profile.

Re: Signature Skype Link Error
for the sig image, make the text either a lot lighter or a lot darker or both for the different texts, the fonts and sizes are perfect

Re: Signature Skype Link Error
FINALLY.
I had to search through lists of fonts, but I found it.
I will now edit the colors and make them more visible.
