ARgh-my signature
« on: August 23, 2006, 03:19:28 pm »
Or lack there-of.

I'm trying to add a signature to my posts:

Photographer
www.anneliesep ickard.com

I tried to do the website in HTML: <a href="www.anneliesep ickard.com">www.anneliesep ickard.com[/url]

It's not working, though. I'm missing something, aren't I?

It comes out as:

Photographer
d.com=something or another... It's a link, but to nothing.

I know there's a basic answer to this that I'm missing.

Thanks guys!

Okay, see that "d.com" stuff? I didn't write that (except near the end when I was explaining it).  ???

You need to disable smilies.  You probably already know how, but just in case:

Click on "Additional Options" between the box for typing the post and the "post" and "preview" buttons.  There is a box there to check, labelled "Don't use smileys."

About the signature itself, I don't know...you tried just typing it in?  There are many people here who are really good with computers and websites, so I am sure that one of them will come along to help you.

So I need to disable smilies on every post if I want to use my signature? Why, though?

Sometimes computers are very annoying! lol

That's not what I meant, although it may be correct.  I hope not.  Sorry about not being clear...:-[

What I was saying is that the messed up links in your first post can be corrected by modifying/editing the post and disabling the smilies.

Did you just type in the url? That's all I did with mine is type in www.dog-care-central.com and it linked it for me just fine. I didn't have to insert any html codes.

Ah, okay. I was thinking it wouldn't make sense for the signature, but if it'll clean up the post... Well, I don't know about making sense, but it makes more sense than the other way.

When I just typed it in, it did the d.com thing, but I'll try again. Maybe I was doing something else with that.

Okay, now I've got it in the little box as:

Photographer
www.anneliesep ickard.com

And it's got the d.com stuff. Sigh...

And I am going to disable smilies on this post to make sure that stuff I just typed here doesn't change, too! lol

Okay it worked for me by just typing their addresses in for dogster. So I'd retry typing it in regularly and see if that works.

Maybe try using BBC codes...I tried it in my signature and it worked.

I'm going to use parenthesis but you will need to replace them with "[ ]" those kind of brackets (minus the quotes)

BTW, I love your photos on your site! I love photography and am returning back to college this semester to take photography classes. :)

I've changed it to the [URL] version, but it's still showing up funny. Thank you for the suggestion, though! And thank you for the compliments. :) Good luck with school!
