    Thanks for the great info, I would really like to find out how to change the color of a link to your site for ie. have a link to your site in your signature the color of pink. I have seen this done by many people but can't figure it out myself.

    Easy, on your "Edit Signature" page, select (draggin with mouse) the words to change, and then click on the small arrow located between letter "A" and smilie, and then click on your desired color

    I would recommend not to allow porn links.

    If you don't have the ability to use HTML how are people getting words within their signature to link?

    Meaning using HTML my signature would be something like...

    <a href="www.yahoo.com">My Favorite Web site</a>

    I feel sort of dumb that everyone else is doing this but I can't figure it out! :confused:

    Can someone help?

    I don't understand your question because you currently have an URL on your signature.
    Anyway, signatures are filled with BB code instead of HTML; your example will be:
    (replacing brackets with curly brackets): {URL="www.yahoo.com"}My Favorite Web site{/URL}

    I'm sorry but that's not vB code either. It's not actually "{" but "[" :D

    Yes, as I said, '{' were used instead of '[' to avoid "interpretation" of that code.
    Although, it could be written inside a [plain] BB code :D
    That's: [URL="www.yahoo.com"]My Favorite Web site[/URL]
