How to add a listing or profile link to your FORUM profile

Welcome & Getting Started
49

The instructions at the start of this thread are very helpful. However, when I tried to add a link to my forum profile, I still got a little confused. To help future members, here are more-detailed steps and screenshots.

:information_source: This post is for PPs (Pet Parents) adding their listing to their forum profile. For sitters adding their sitter profile, I’ll make another post.

PPs (Pet Parents)

The instructions vary depending on your platform. To jump to a specific section, click below:

Desktop web browser (Mac) (PC should be similar)

First, let’s get the link to our listing:

  1. Go to the TH website:

  2. Go to your Dashboard (click on your photo/name → “Dashboard”):

    1. :warning: Do not go to “Your Listing.” It will give you the wrong link:

  3. On your Dashboard, find your listing and copy its link. (In the section “Your listing,” mouse/hover over your listing. Then right-click → “Copy Link”):

    1. :information_source: This is the correct link. If you were to check it, it would look like this:
    2. :warning: Don’t click “Edit listing” nor “Listing preview.” Those will give you the wrong link.

Now that we have the correct link, let's add that to our forum profile:

  1. Go to the TH forums:

  2. Go to your Preferences (click on your photo/icon → person icon → “Preferences”):

  3. Go to your Profile Preferences (click “Profile”):

  4. Scroll down to “Web Site.” Paste the link you copied earlier:

  5. Save changes (scroll to the bottom → “Save Changes”)


Let's check if our link works:

  1. Go to the list of forum members (we were at the bottom of our Profile Preferences, so scroll to the top → near the top, see the black bar → “Members”):

  2. View your forum user card (click on your name):

  3. Check that your link looks correct:

    1. As seen in the screenshot, a listing should have this part:

      • /house-and-pet-sitting-assignments/

    2. To see if your link works, click it.
    3. If the link looks okay but you can’t click it, you may still need to earn the badge “Basic.” That’s given after 10 minutes of browsing the forums.

Mobile web browser (iPhone) (Android should be similar)

First, let’s get the link to our listing. We could use the TH app. However, that’s actually harder because:

  • We’d have to find our listing by searching for it, like any other sit.
  • The link would have extra text that we’d need to trim.

So, let’s get our listing link using our phone’s web browser:

  1. Go to the TH website:

  2. Go to your Dashboard (in the upper-right, tap the “hamburger” menu → “Dashboard”):

    1. :warning: Do not go to “Your Listing.” It will give you the wrong link:

  3. On your Dashboard, find your listing and copy its link. (In the section “Your listing,” long-press your listing title. Then slide the resulting menu up. Then tap “Copy Link”):

    1. :information_source: This is the correct link. If you were to check it, it would look like this:
    2. :warning: Don’t click “Edit listing” nor “Listing preview.” Those will give you the wrong link.

Now that we have the correct link, let's add that to our forum profile:

  1. Go to the TH forums:

  2. Go to your Preferences (in the upper-right, tap your photo/icon → person icon → “Preferences”):

  3. Go to your Profile Preferences (tap “Profile”):

  4. Scroll down to “Web Site.” Paste the link you copied earlier:

  5. Save changes (scroll to the bottom → “Save Changes”)


Let's check if our link works:

  1. Go to the list of forum members (we were at the bottom of our Profile Preferences, so scroll to the top → near the top, see the black bar → “Members”):

  2. View your forum user card (tap your name):

  3. Check that your link looks correct:

    1. You can’t see it fully from the screenshot, but a listing should have this part:

      • /house-and-pet-sitting-assignments/

      • As long as what you can see looks okay, you’re probably fine.
    2. To see if your link works, tap it.
    3. If the link looks okay but you can’t tap it, you may still need to earn the badge “Basic.” That’s given after 10 minutes of browsing the forums.
