Please would all artists/bands place a link to their music page in their signature on their message board profile.

As the site is attracting more & more unsigned talent & now growing at an ever increasing rate it is going to become more difficult for members & visitors to the messge boards to find your music.

It is also confusing to some visitors & members of the site when doing a search of artists/bands who use a different user name on the message boards.

If you are unsure how to add your signature please follow the instructions below to add your artist/band page link.

1 Logon to your artist/band page as normal

2 At the top of the screen in the internet Address bar highlight/select the text in the address bar  - EG: http://www.mp3unsigned.com/showband.asp?ID=1212   or

http://www.mp3unsigned.com/myband.asp

3 Right click onto the text & choose Copy

4 Access the Message Board & logon (if not already logged in)

5 Click Settings on the menu above

6 Choose Edit Profile on the Member Control Panel Menu

7 Scroll down to Signature field

8 Position your cursor in the text box & right click, choose paste & enter the link to your band page.

9 Edit the text to include the necessary url code as follows:-

[url=http://www.mp3unsigned.com/showband.asp?ID=1111]Artist or Band Name at Mp3Unsigned[/url}

10 Replace the last bracket  } with ]

11 Click on Signature Preview & a window will open with the correct link to your music page - to verify you have done the above correctly click on the link & your band page will open

12 Close the preview window & scroll to the bottom & choose Update Profile

Congratulations, your signature & link is now included in every message you post on our Message Board Forums.

If you have any difficulties with adding your signature, or any specific url link, please do not hesitate to contact the Management Team.

Thanks
