    Forums: Active Link in Signature Box

    I notice some people have an active link (click to go to site) in their signature box on the forum.  How is this done?  I have placed the web address of my site but am unable to make it active.

     Hey Chuck.  You just need to use the html tag for a link...  <a href="www.blah blah blah. com"> your link goes here </a>

    Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.  :o) 

    Check out our most recent endeavor...GownStop.com. It's still a bit of a work in progress, but you get the idea. :o)

    Mike......THAT DID IT!  Many thanks to both of you.  I just cut and pasted your suggestion Mike and it worked just as you had it.  My main problem was that I didn't realize I needed to include the text after the ">" symbol.  I guess that's where I tell it what to display while the text in the < > area is an instruction as to where to link.

    I really appreciate your help guys.  I don't think I'll be speaking fluent HTML any time soon though.
