HTML in forum post signature lines

[+wesleykey]

My signature line has HTML but it does not show. How do I make it show the link?

 

I did 3 or 4 searches but can't find a recent topic on this.

Here is an example.

Put YOUR actual Link after URL=

Note: You must add an opening Bracket and a closing Bracket to that to make it work.

 

 

[place brackets like this around your link]

 

URL=http://pa.water.usgs.gov/monitor/sw/index.html]Text You Enter Here Is How Link Will Look[/url

This is how it would look.

 

[URL=http://your_URL_HERE.html]Text You Enter Here Is How Link Will Look[/URL]

 

This would then look like this: Text You Enter Here Is How Link Will Look

 

FYI the "code" button allows you to write UBB code that is not processed only printed. This site uses UBB not HTML

I'm getting closer...... I still have the default "visit link" though rather than the wording I was looking for.

Did you notice that both responders to your question included this peice of information:

 

Text You Enter Here Is How Link Will Look

 

In that part of your link, did you try to type in something appropriate like: Alabama Micro Coin

 

If not, go back and edit your link to include your personal preference of display text.

 

Edit: Just looked at your link attempt again. That visible Open Bracket " [ " is currently part of your Forum Signature and NOT the actual URL link. If you follow exactly the exmples you were provided, it will work.

 

Good Luck.

I've been having trouble with this too. I tried it about 6 months ago and just plain ole gave up.

 

Now with the simple instruction up above I figured I would give it another try.

 

This is what I used:

 

 

As you can see....it does not work.

 

Any suggestions? I even went off site and looked up UBB code and they say the same thing...so I dont know why its not working for me...

Looks like stray brackets in the link, don't use the url twice.

 

See if this helps just remove both the "**":

 

[**url=http://myhomepage.com]My page title[/url**]

I think the problem is you are using the URL as the TEXT also...and that is confusing things.

 

try this:

 

[url=http://blog.myspace.com/weatherednboston]My MySpace Page[/url]

Thanks alot both of you...I can believe it's working!

[+CO Admin]

This entire post was relevant. What problem are you having.

Thanks CO Admin. I actually skimmed over that last month and missed the significance.

This month I paid more attention and got it. Never even noticed that Tool.
