Default Putting your Farm Link in your Forum Signature

Putting your Farm Link in your Forum Signature.

If you prefer not to find your farm link and paste it every time you post in the Forum
you can add it to your Forum Signature so it shows in every post.

Your own FarmTown farm links and your own Facebook profile link can be put in your signature.
Do NOT put any other links your signature!



  1. You will need your farm link!
    If you do not have it yet use one of the several methods listed previously in this thread to get it, then return to this post. There are also links at the bottom of this post that will take you back to the one you need.


    Top left of the Forum click on User CP.

  2. Click on Edit Signature which is down the left hand side of your screen under the Settings & Options section.


  3. Paste or type your link into the Edit Signature box. Example of what you could type in it:



  4. THEN scroll down to the bottom and there are 2 options:

    • Preview Signature will let you see what your signature will look like before you save it.

    • Save Signature will save what you typed into your Signature



Now you know the basics, if you wish, you can create links that would take you to a few specific farms and add those to your signature.

Here's how:
  • Either get each link for a specific farm using the Farm Selector Manager and paste those, one at a time, into the Edit Signature box making sure there is at least one clear space between each farm link OR at the very end of each link you can click Enter on your keyboard so the next farm link is underneath the first one.

    You can use the Preview Signature to see what it will look like before you save it. If you use Preview your signature will show above the Edit Signature box.

    When you are done remember to click Save Signature.


  • OR if you want to manually make them you can copy the farm link you made in Create your Farm Link and at the end of the link, after your ID number you need to add a little more code at the end which is &farm_ix=Y

    Examples:

    Your farm link you made previously, looks like this, remember, you replaced the red 0s with your ID numbers.

    Farm Link:
    Code:
    https://apps.slashkey.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=000000
    What you add at the very end of a link will make the farm link go to a specific farm.
    Remember no-one can visit a Private farm so any link to a Private farm would take the farmer to one that was not Private.

    A specific farm link to a default farm can be like this (again your ID replaces the red zeros)
    There are NO spaces after the USER ID number:


    Your Farm Link would then look like this for your default farm:
    Code:
    https://apps.slashkey.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=000000&farm_ix=Y
    Y at the end means your default farm, no matter how many times you change which farm is your default farm.

    For a different farm just change the Y at the end to...

    0 for your 1st farm,
    1 for your 2nd farm,
    2 for your 3rd farm,
    3 for your 4th farm,
    4 for your 5th farm
    and so on.

    Make sure you leave at least one clear space between each link you put in the Edit Signature box

    OR at the very end of each link you can click Enter on your keyboard so the next farm link is underneath the first one.

    You can use the Preview Signature to see what it will look like before you save it. If you use Preview your signature will show above the Edit Signature box.

    When you are done remember to click Save Signature.



NOTE: Your signature can NOT contain more than 500 characters so you will NOT be able to fit many links for yours farms in your Forum Signature!
