Bitcoin Forum

BB-Code in text version is still not what need. When I ran lotteries, I inserted a shortened link to my topic using services for short links. All these inconveniences could be solved by a hyperlink.

This hyperlink under the avatar could be used to advertise your project (the link will lead to an ANN topic), a third-party thread that the user supports most often, an event on the forum, be it an auction, a drawing of a collectible, a lottery, a giveaway, or the same provision of some services (again with a link to the ANN topic).
All this can be implemented at the moment in the profile, in the Website tab, but it will look much more effective under the avatar.

It's a nice idea, but only if the link is not outside the forum. Otherwise, it'll just be another attempt to make the forum a better place which will be then abused by bounty hunters.

This topic may have already been discussed, but I couldn't find any related discussions in the meta section.

I got a bad feeling that some users would sneakily promote scam project in there.
I don't read personal texts that much, since it is mostly just like another option to personalize your profile, not sure for other users though.

All other links allowed in a user's profile can lead to outside the forum. I don't see why an avatar link shouldn't be able to lead to an outside link.

I got a bad feeling that some users would sneakily promote scam project/s in there.

And what prevents them from doing the same in their avatar and signature? (There's a personal website option too)

Recently, I began to wonder why not make a hyperlink under the avatar? Everyone has the option to insert a hyperlink in their signature or profile, so why not do something similar under the avatar as well?

True. Well, it'll just make things worse then.

Yes, that's why I focused on internal links, without any links to third-party websites.

After adding the ability to use a hyperlink in the profile, did this make the profiles more commercial? I do not think so.

If desired, anything can be used for scam, but this is not a reason to refuse it.

Limiting it to the ranking of the users here should do the trick to prevent some of the possible scams. Possibly with merit requirement to make sure that the user is active and participating in the forum. I'm thinking of the problems like misclicks towards the link and could contain malicious contents or something.

I apologize in advance if this topic has already been discussed.

This could be a hyperlink for internal forum projects. After all, many users who wear an advertising signature have their own projects. This hyperlink under the avatar could be used to advertise your project (the link will lead to an ANN topic), a third-party thread that the user supports most often, an event on the forum, be it an auction, a drawing of a collectible, a lottery, a giveaway, or the same provision of some services (again with a link to the ANN topic).

I wonder if there is such a possibility to implement such a hyperlink? Or maybe theymos have already commented on a similar request? It would be interesting to get acquainted. Thanks.
