URLs In Signatures

AirTransRanger · 05-25-2007, 10:17 PM

At what point does one get the privilege of putting urls in their signature? I know it can be done because I see others with them in their sigs. Not a huge issue, just thought i would throw a link for my website in. No spam

15 posts.
the formatting is similar to html coding as well, use the following without the " marks and you'll have your linkaroo:
["url=http://www.whatever.com]Link Name[/"url]

I get a bb code url not allowed. I have more than 15 post as you can see.

Hmm... That's weird, you get that when editing your signature right?
Have you made sure you have put everything just as Ferris said, without the " thingeys?

Here's the code behind my sig:

[b]|TG-9th| Lorax74[/b]
[b]"By Any Means"[/b]

If I had to guess, I would say you are correct about the permissions. Could it be a Supporting Member perk?

I think you have to be an SM to put links in signatures. I can't do it. However, I decided to make your signature transparent:

Maybe Apophis could weigh in on this?

Is linkies in siggies only for SMs?

I'm actually able to see my sig. I used the img code not the url code for that.

**Ferris Bueller** · 05-26-2007, 07:13 PM

nah, he meant that he made the background on your signature image transparent so you dont have that ugly white box around it.

VoodooGTS · 05-27-2007, 05:25 AM

How did he make it transparent?

I used GIMP 2.0 but I think it's one of those fancy updating ones so once you go up more points you will need a new sig. ^_^

That's kind of what I thought. Too much work to keep updating it.

I think that you do need to be a SM to have url's linked up in your sig. I followed the little format Ferris and Lorax gave but I still couldn't link anything to my sig. After becoming a SM, I tried the same format again and the url's were linkable, yay.
