How to add links to your signature

[mgsipa]

Here's how to add those nifty links to your signature... nice and clean.... (see my signature below for an example)

Step 1: Go to the page you want to create a link to and copy the URL (that's the web address, including the http:// portion).

Step 2: Now in the links banner click on Quick Links and then select Edit Signature.

Step 3: In the Edit Signature Dialog type something like"Here's a link to out previous trip... " or whatever. Now select the text you just typed and click on the "globe with yellow chainlink icon" located just below the happy face icon.

Step 4: In the new dialog, paste the URL you copied previously, including the http:// portion. Click OK, then click Save Signature, and you're done. From now on the link will appear on all new and old posts alike.

Or, can't you just copy the thread address and add it at the bottom of your signature without all those extra steps?

I know your way looks more slick, but this still works, as in mine below:

Yes, your way works just fine as well, but if you want a cleaner look plus a way to tell others what the link leads to without extra long lines, my way helps you do that. In the end, I guess it's personal preference. :)

Thanks for posting the instructions, though. I've always wondered how people do that "click here to see xyz". Pretty cool.
