How to Banner Link??
 

Ok, i've been away from the computer for over a year, so my skills and memory are rusty. I'm trying to remember how to put up a sig that links to a site. Yea, basic i know.

I know how to edit my sig in the cp. I just don't know how to insert the website i want it to link to.

Is there a simple way to do this? If not, can somehow show me whats its supposed to look like using your sig and site?

I see, well, please tell me more...

Switch Editor Mode and Use Link Code Button
 

Hi Mr. Burns,

Here is how I do it. Go to Edit Signature. In the text editor, click on the upper right corner button (that looks like A/A) to switch editor mode to code view mode. Place the text insertion cursor at the position in the signature that you want your link. Click the Insert Link button (looks like the world with a chain link). Type your URL address. Click OK. Edit the anchor text for the link (it defaults to the link address). Finally switch the editor mode back to the default text view mode.

In code view, your new url address link will look something like this:
[ URL="http://www.yoursite.com/" ]This is my site[ /URL ]

Happy linking!

Thanks for your help. I'm going to try it.

first it gave me just a text link, but i need a banner link. then I tried it a few more times and couldn't get it to do anything.

Wrap the URL Tag around an IMG Tag
 

What you need to do is wrap the URL Tag around an IMG Tag of your banner (instead of wrapping the text). For example, in your signature:

[ url=http://www.google.com/][ img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[ /img][ /url]

Will generate:
http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif

Note: There are no spaces between the [] brackets. I only put the spaces in so that the code would be visible. Here is a useful BBCode Guide that may answer any other questions for you.

Ok. I think that will help alot. Thanks for taking the time.

So where's your banner Mr. Burns? :)

unfortunately I still can't get it to work...feel like a NEwB.

WHOA! hold the phone, we have liftoff! I figured it out.

Many thanks!

Well I will give it a try too and see if I can post my sig.
