HTML In Signature - What Am I Doing Wrong?

Posts: 605

I was trying to place links in my signature so people could click on items in it such as where it displays my cable co it would be a link to it and where it displays my speeds and QOS and such people would click that and it would take them to Voip speed test. As you can see below it is not displaying properly. What am I doing wrong here?

I fixed it for you - Smile

The instructions say to use html code, but I need to change that to say bb code, such as [url= and [/url]

Sorry, I will fix the instruction tonight

I can't get this to work either.

For example, a string like this in my sig doesn't seem like it's being parsed since it is printed as a literal:

Code:

[url=http://www.blahblahblah.com]Hello World[/url]

I can cut and paste this into a post and it works (Hello World), so I don't know what I'm missing here.

We know about the problem,,,,, thats the easy statement.

I am currently clueless to the fix, but I am working on it.

Any fix yet for this? As you can see from below, my signature is doing the same thing. The BBcode is there, but it is displaying the code and not the signature.

Hi Tommy:

I am not sure about colors, if you see a sig here with color fonts working correctly, PM me the member and I will look at the BB Code for you.

Here is my sig code (works correctly):

Code:

Bizarre, I cut and paste your sig into mine and it still appears as ascii... Confused

I'm having problems with the [url] tag in my signature as well. Obviously it works because I can see it in Dan's signature, but I have no idea what the "trick" is to get it to work.

Nothing doing on this one, eh? I see some people have URLs working fine in their sigs. Is it a hit or miss thing?
