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.

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?
Hi
Could you share an example of the rank messages you use please (complete with examples of the links you’re trying to use)?
To make them show here without being garbled, made sure to put them inside a Code Tag!
Thanks
Here’s what I’m trying to post it won’t let me hyperlink into either the word or the website when I show it. I’m building it from here:

Thank you! This worked perfectly!
Hi
To answer my own question, I tried it out (sorry, should have just done that anyway) and it’s the BBCode.
Yeah, figured it would be that one.
Not sure what everyone else thinks, but I wonder if it’s better to make it so that both of them either use HTML or both of them use BBCode, rather than having a mixed experience? Certainly on the Community side, the PM Editor uses BBCode exclusively (any attempt to use HTML gets blocked) - trust me, you do not want random users having full HTML access! All it’d take is one use of some malicious HTML and someone could do really bad things with it!
Between the two, BBCode is arguably also a bit more user friendly too.
Thank you! This worked perfectly!
No worries! If you want to add any more, you can just take the same code snippets and edit the references accordingly. But if you get stuck, let me know and I’ll be happy to eyeball any that you’re having trouble with.

Since you sent this I’ve been html’ing my way to success, so thank you!
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!
