Yeah, we're a bit different, since most forums use BBML code, and we use good ol' fashioned HTML. It is, after all, the web!

I guess you have to be logged into the DP forums in order for that link to work. Bummer, that's not good, especially if you don't even belong to the DigitalPress forums.

I feel like such a numbskull!

I'll get it, it's just different than the other two forums I frequent.....or is it? Oh man, IDK!

To enter HTML, in your sig editor, you'll see a button that looks like "<>" (3rd button from the right). Click that then enter the link HTML there. If you paste HTML directly into the editor without doing that, it gets parsed out and auto-linked. Here's the HTML for my sig:

I'm not getting it, so sorry. Do I add something where it says "_blank" ?

Also, I get that I am to remove the ( and ) around the a href but what about the ones at the end? Do I remove those totally and just leave it?

I'm such a dummy when it comes to this stuff, I apologize!

I know, dumb question but I really don't know. I am able to make links on AtariAge and DigitalPress forums but I'm having trouble here. As you can see, my current signature doesn't look to great although it does the job.

My goal (and question) is to make them a link that is in words. Meaning, my sig would just say "My AtariAge Feedback" and that in itself would be the link. How do I do this?

Thanks for your help!
