    Like when the novel title glows blue in post and it directs you to it's novelupdates page when clicked. How does that works? Why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't?

    You need to set a hyperlink for the title you want to link if you don't do it it will remain unlinked. Furthermore you need a certain amount of posts to link something

    nu has a novels named "xxxxxx" when you post it on NUF novel subforum if the name "xxxxxx" match, it's automaticaly linked....
    so if doesn't work there are 4 cases:
    1- you made a typo somewhere
    2- they are using acronims or a different name for that novel
    3- it's not in the database so it's doesn't link
    4- you are in the wrong subforum....

    anyway you can always hyperlink them yourself....the chain like icone on the editor....

    @Tony someone want to know how nuf backstage work....

    Or, exclusively in the I'm Looking For subforum, simply type the novel's name out in full, correctly, and it'll be automatically linked. If it's not automatically linked, you can PM a staff member and ask them to fix it. ... Fair warning, though: the auto linker is a third party add-on, does not support apostrophes, and we have no plans to fix it. So titles with apostrophes simply will not work. (E.g. "Seol Station's Necromancer" will only auto link if you type it as "Seol Station Necromancer" instead).

    Request it to a NUF mode. Some titles can't be linked sue to some special characters, but most of the time it's because the novels are new and they're not updated. Aside from that, the autolink only works on I'm Looking For section.
