Title: Issue adding links to signature
Post by: el sanchimoto on 01/04/2014 01:11 PM
Sorry if this has been posted and answered before. I looked a couple times now and haven't seen the answer, but I cannot for the life of my get a hyperlinked signature to work in my signature unless I just dump the link in plain text there.

What I'd like is to have 'My Humidor' hyperlinked to my public humidor but I cannot get it to work.

I even used the rich-text editor and successfully inserted the link to the correct text in a post, edited the post to see the code, then copy and pasted the code to my signature in my account but when I viewed it in the forums it just displayed the code.

Did I miss a setting somewhere? (I have HTML to YES, and MBBS Code to YES).

Again, advanced apologies if I missed the post where this was addressed and thanks for the help!

I am sure someone will help you with this who is more tech savvy than me. I'll keep an eye on this thread and if you are not helped in a reasonable amount of time I will bring it to Paul's (Senor Pablo) attention.

I can't for the life of me get a thumbnail in mine, I have tried probably 30 times and it just won't work!

Thanks mate. While I'm not a coder, I am pretty good at figuring things out [like this] and what-not on my own (part of my job professionally) and I have seen it work in other people's signatures.

You basically need to use the same bbs codes you would use in a post, found here:

I included a couple of examples though.

Cheers!

I'm officially brain challenged...couldn't put a thumbnail image  on here to save my life...guess they'll just come in regular size.

And there we have it. SUCCESS! :dancing:

Strange though that I used the rich text editor to insert a link in a post and it uses a different language than what works for the signature. :confused:

oh well   :thanx:

 When I use Basic Editor I don't have to put in the ( break sign )
to achieve breaks between lines...

 

I just hit ENTER and I get the break and it breaks twice if I click ENTER twice.  At least my brain is trying to make a comeback.
