How can I add a link to my signature?

[starkandskinny]

Apologies in advance if this question's been answered before, I tried searching and couldn't find anything related to this. I've noticed some members have links in their signatures, but couldn't add any to my own. Is there any particular reason for that?

Hey starkandskinny; You can add a link by clicking the button on the text box that's a picture of the world with a chain link over it, and pasting the url of the link into the box that pops up, or by using the following code (without the spaces)

[Url="URL GOES HERE]What you'd like the link to say goes here[/url ]

Keep in mind the forum rules about advertising if you're linking to other sites. Hope that helps! :)

Thanks for the quick reply, G - but I'd already tried that and received the following message:

"The following errors occurred with your submission
BB code url is not allowed."

I think it's because you still have newbie status. Once you get member, that will change.

That makes sense. Thank you! :)
