    Stupid computer question alert.

    Ok, once upon a time I knew how to do this. I had text links to the 2008 and 2009 survivor champions in my sig. The new banner I got from winning march madness made those go away, and I can't remember how to get them back. Can someone tell me how to do that here?

    I've been trying examples I found on the net and they don't seem to work. e.g. -

    <a href="http://www.link.com/">go to design page</a>

    Is there a magic button somewhere that does this?

    Look for the Globe with a Chain in front of it. That's the Hyperlink button, which is what you are looking for. Simply press the button, enter your link, and hit enter. It automatically highlights it so you can either make it look like this:

    http://espn.go.com/

    Or like this:

    EDIT: If you want to go long ways, you can go "[ URL="http://www.url.com"]URL Name[/URL]" (without the first space).

    the <a href=""> doesn't work because it's HTML and the board doesn't recognize HTML. You have to use BBCode which is what VO is talking about.

    That worked. Thanks! I knew it had something to do with that globe, just couldn't remember the order of things.
