Artist tag help

I made my account a few days ago and I need some help. I don’t understand the artist link system. It keeps saying “Error: Tag must exist” when I put my username in the “artist:your-name” box. What am I doing wrong? Do I have the stupid? XD I am familiar with this style of website but I have never posted on one.

The tag has to be on an image before it can be used elsewhere, like with creating a link. I’ve created a tag for you, so you should be able to submit the link verification request now:
