when you are linking to someone on DA and you do :icon <artistname>: what is the graphic that actually shows up in the link?


 

Posted

Their DA Icon... avatar... thingie.

k... think I got it

If you want it to just show a text link to them you can do :link<name>: too. I think. That'll make it show like ~Rowrsie and underlined intsead of just [link]

I believe you have to have an account for that Gamma. Was trying to figure that out for Sassy too, couldn't figure out how.

I thought I was your love.......... Must crank out more 3d art!


 

Posted

yes, art makes Gamma very affectionate

Yes but you can't have more than 64 in your journal, it's in the DA rules. :P

I thought you meant that little 'friends' thumbnail. You COULD also link to yourname.deviantart.com/friends as well


 

Posted

guess it's good that I don't have 64 friends yet =)

Thats something I didn't know! Thanks for info Rowr! I plan on putting just the COH gang and a couple of RL friends in mine for now...I watch waaaayyy too many people (although not as many as you) to make that large of a list! So the linkie thing is helpful!

Hmm, methinks this thread just made into my favorites... I've been trying to figure this stuff out myself. But the FAQ on this on dA is sorely lacking.. or I'm not looking the right places...



Main Hero: Flame Blade (Scrapper lvl 50; Katana/Regeneration)
Main Villain: Elenor Seahawk (Mastermind lvl 44; Necromancy/Poison)
My Arcs: #337278: Learning Curve
Fight my Brute: SMASH

OK I have a question...

how in all heck do you add people you're watching to a GROUP?



"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."

If you go to 'manage friends' from your watch list (it's at the bottom), then you can make a group. Then you have to manually put in each person and select the group from the drop down and hit submit.

Very very time consuming. Plus, really doesn't seem to do much. :-/

Oh.

So, like, if I was doing this when I was putting people on my watchlist... it'd be less work.

Bleh.

OK thanks Rowrsie...

Yeah.

What I did was open up a second window on my watch list, then I'd go through and copy paste from one window each person's name, flip back and paste it in, hit submit, and then flip back and scroll to the next person, etc.

This way I wouldn't lose track of where I was... but... yeah. Bit of a pain and I really don't see much benefit to it.

Ditto.

I actually had to send a note to get someone to explain it to me yesterday. *sheepish toescuff*

...and let's just say that embedding links in DA is -difficult-!

Standard ubb code ftw.

*nods* The only reason I continue to use DA is because so many of you guys do.
