It looks like you are putting the before the . Copy and paste this Involved...

[url]test[/url]

When you do that put this...=http://www.example.com... (without the ...) immediatly after the first "url".

This should look like this...

If you still dont seem to be getting it then click on "quote" button on this post and basically copy and paste the example i managed to get work and then edit the appropriate bits. I hope this helps.

just realised i could have made this easier by removing BBCode from my post. I will do it here. Basically, copy following and paste in your signature field in your profile...

[url=www.example.com][color=yellow]Test[/color][/url]

and amend to suite whatever you are wanting to do. It really isnt that difficult.

Thanks for the follow up. After playing around with all the different configurations, I guess I can't make the text one color (aqua, as below) and the link another (e.g., yellow). If so, it's fine like it is.

ATNO...My thanks to you and the Dust Puppy in the UK for your help. I didn't realize that I had to repeat my site's URL in the command line. Live and learn, right? :wink:


P.S. Is ATNO/TW an acronym? Do the letters have a particular meaning you can share with us? (Perhaps I'm the only member who doesn't know, LOL).

I have a post from a couple years ago that explains it, but

ATNO = A True Night Owl
TW = The Webmaster

(two very old handles I've used for going on ten years)

Thanks. Actually, when I log on and have a question, I check to see if you're online because you know your stuff :D

Seems to me like you're online 24/7/365, LOL.

I thought I would share this with you all...

A couple of years ago I used to get hundreds of spam messages per day, Now, I am getting - 0 - (zero) spam messages. I filter my form subjects. So the only mail I get in my email application is for business only. I figure the only way to get spammed is if the spammers actually fill out my form and hit the send button, otherwise if they just use my direct email, they would never get it to me. Hahahahaha!

Anyone can do this, if you want me to set you up, I can help you do it to your mailbox. But, I can only Guarantee it to work for the following account types:

Pop3, Hotmail, IMAP and AOL email accounts

Works wonders!

Yes, I have received two SPAM PM's within the last week. Today's user(abhinav_1403) sent me a message about joining his "company" in India?!?!? Hopefully there will be better SPAM and user tracking. Thanks for the site and keeping it going!
