Hey everybody, I've made a clan and it's time to make a forum presence.

I need help linking my recruitment thread to my vex, I know it's supposed to be done through the clan forums. I know how to add the thread ID as well. I can't figure out how to use a QFC on the clan forums that will redirect to my recruitment post on the RSForums.

I found the QFC guide but can't get it to work on the clan forums end. All help appreciated !!

(I just want the vex to display my colorful post instead of the boring clan forums aesthetic)

`I don't think the links work the same way on clan forums as on the usual RS forums :(

If you show the qfc without the actual link, it should be easy enough for people to copy/paste it into the search and find the thread without problem.


( headed to my clan forum to check -

yup, as I suspected, you can't put the qfc link in the same way on the clan forum )

Hi,

You can do something similar to what I've done for my clan. I have the link on our Vex going to a "directory" of various linked threads we use, one is our Recruitment Thread and the others are private threads on our Clan Page's forums.

1. Create a thread on our Clan Page's forum that has a brief message, e.g. "Hey, check out our official recruitment thread!" You can include a link of the QFC for the recruitment thread there.
2. The formatting in these forums is different, so you would type it as
[qfc]135-136-939-65948672[/qfc] (using this thread's qfc as an example) to create a link.
3. Put the 4 character thread id from there onto your Vex.

This will create a redirect point for players clicking the link on your Vex in game to your clan page, where they'll see a link for the QFC to your official forum thread.

There's a bit of extra steps, but unfortunately, this is the only way to "link" a recruitment thread from your Clan Vex. :(

Hope this helps though. :)

EDIT: Link to the thread on my clan's forums if you want to see what it looks like: here
