Hyperlink in rank message

Hi! In my rank messaging when someone levels up, I’d like to be able to include hyperlinks in the message. I can do that in the typical PM area, but when I build the message within the rank (send message when someone reaches this rank) it will not allow me to hyperlink. I’ve tried all the suggestions in the Hyperlinks not visible on private messages post, but none of them are working.

 

Any suggestions or workarounds?

Gotcha! Do any of these help? Hope you don’t mind, but I won’t copy/paste your entire Rank Up message as it’ll make my response 10 miles long, but you should be able to just copy/paste these back in and give it a test run.

All of these are ultimately one line of HTML each. They must always be one line to avoid the code breaking - these tags don’t support more than that per HTML standards.

You have to use HTML for the Rank Up messages - the BBCode that normally works in PM’s won’t work there. But as an example, if you want to BBCode a link in a regular PM, you can do it like this:

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ]Warning! Clicking on this WILL Rickroll you![/url]

Which turns into:

Warning! Clicking on this link WILL Rickroll you! Because I like setting traps for Julian as he inevitably won’t read this warning first! XD

Does that help at all?

It’s totally little things like this that really help us to customize the user experience.

For example, now I know that you can add a URL, when a user wins a high-level badge we can point them to a custom page with a video message that congratulates them.

 As an example I already set up: Watch 50 webinars, get a badge, and the badge PM sends you to this page. Fantastic!

Love this idea!!
