Default Thread link in signature

Hi Guys and Girls,

I managed to do this once before in the past (some time ago now) but have since tried to do it again and cannot get it to work or remember how I did it in the first place. Now adding a build thread link into a signature is the easy part but last time I managed to do so with renaming the URL code or whatever it's called to exactly what the link was without actually showing the code on the screen! For example you will see I have had failed attempt at adding my build thread to my signature. The exact title is there the same as last time however the generated link is missing/dose not work. Just to clarify what I am trying to say is I had the link set up with its own title without showing any of that http code crap.

Any ideas? Your help would be greatly appreciated as nothing frustrates me more than technology.

Cheers Ryan

I think I just managed to fix it but really don't know what I have done? if someone can walk me through the steps to do this it would be greatly appreciated. I just kept fiddling around with it for hours now until it worked.

I hate computers!

Cheers Ryan

Step 1. Copy the link address. (Ctrl+C)

Step 2. Type in the wording you want as the link button.

Step 3. Click on the icon in the bar at the top of the text box, that has round blue ball with the linky thing below it.

Step 4. Wait for popup box to come up, then press Ctrl+V to copy the link address into the popup box. No need to click into popup box.

Step 5. Press Enter

Done.

Just noticed an important step was somehow deleted in my post above while preparing it.

Step 2. Type in the wording you want as the link button. Then highlight this wording.
