Tips & Tricks Banner Icons Showing Grey Globe Fix

[Jonathan]

This is just a short post that I felt needed making, For those of you that have social links on your YouTube channel that have the default globe icon on them here is how to change them into the website icon with ease. Its a very simple mistake to make but YouTube required the full URL in order for the link to show the correct image. so you'll need the http://www. at the start of each link to get the image to show up. its as simple as that

Just though I'd get it out there are even I had the issue on my twitter link up till I noticed this.​
