How do I?

[OEAO]

A lot of people on here have a link in their signature with a window that contains some sort of info, mainly trades. However, nobody can post on them, so it must not be a thread. How do I do this?

You mean like this?

Click the number of your post in the top right corner of your post. It should be beside the rep scale and the reporting buttons.

Then, copy the URL in the address bar of that new window.

Now, edit your sig, and place the cursor where you want the link to be.

Type the following:
[*URL="http://XXXXX"]My trade list[*/URL]
(but don't use the *s) where XXXXX is the URL that you copied. "My trade list" can be any text you'd like, but that is what the link will show as in your sig.

Click the "Save Signature" button on the bottom of that section.

Thanks! Jim, can you further clarify the signature step?

Hopefully this is what you're talking about:
Click on User CP (top right of the screen beneath the Heroscapers.com logo)
Then, on the left side under "Control Panel Settings & Options" click on "Edit Signature."

No, the part after it, where you wrote, [*Url="http://xxxxx]My trade list[*/Url]

First copy the link for your trade list.
then go to user CP and click "edit signature"
Type in "Trade List"Highlight it,Then click the hyperlink button(it looks like the earth with chains around it)And paste your trade list link.

Thanks Boromir! It worked! And thanks to everyone else for trying. I guess I`m just a slow learner!

OK, Boromir96 told you the easy way to do it, and I told you the manual way to do it. I guess I always prefer to do things that way (rather than the shortcut way) so I can understand how things work, rather than not knowing. Either way, looks like you got it. Yay!
