Re: Att: CompuDude Re Changing Profile

First, go into your forum profile at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/myprofile

You want to "Change My Signature" (link near top).

The biggest "challenge" is figuring out the syntax for the quasi-html codes this board uses for formatting, because the signature page does not have the handy formatting tools that the Reply to Post forms have. So create a post, fully formatted the way you want your signature to look, including the http links and any font color, size, etc. formatting, and then copy and paste it into your signature (exit the post before posting, of course). Or just memorize the tags they use and type it by hand.

My signature file just has my handle, CompuDude, in blue, using the "[" color=blue "]" (brackets in quotes to allow this text to display!) command, and then a link, which is exactly the same as links in a post, and pretty much like standard HTML links except with bracket "[" "]" instead of "<" and ">":

"[" url=http://www.test.com "]" test "[" /url "]"

Make any sense?

Re: Att: CompuDude Re Changing Profile

Is there a maximum number of characters you can use for coding the signature?

Stuck,

Ripcat:
I think so. Coding and URL counts as characters too.
