I see that most Animals on here have in their sig, their journey. well, I'm here to make it look more professional.

if you notice in my signature, my journey is a link. This is how you do it.
I'm going to break it down barney so you know how to make your shit look legit.

take the URL (page) of your journey. lets say (http://www.google.com) is my journey.

then i go into "My Settings" ==> "Edit My Sig" ==>

insert this code (Where ever you see a *, remove that when you actually insert this code into your sig. I have the * there so you can actually see what to type):

[*url=http://www.whatever.com]<<<whatever you want the link to say>>>[*/url]

so, using my demo code it should look like this.
[*url=http://www.google.com]my journey[/*url]

and testing the code (I removed the *s):
my journey (http://www.google.com)

you don't have to use this just for your journey. you can use it for this.
My Myspace (http://www.myspace.com)

hope that makes sense. if you have any more nerd questions, I'm here.

IDK where else to put this. so, i apologize before hand if this isn't right.

man i am completely lost

insert this code into your signature, just without the *s...ok? and you can change "Pizzalamp's Journey" to w/e you want to say.

[*url=http://forum.animalpak.com/showthread.php?t=10241]Pizzalamp's Journey[/*url]

What? You like spaghetti and meatball better?


Good idea, lycan. This'll give even the least computer savvy person a chance to look like they know what they're doing. Gracias.

I realize what I am about to post, if used in the FORVM would be breaking the posting rules. So, this is just general knowledge, that you can use later on, or for any other sigs you might have on any other forums.

to make colored text.

you simply type (again w/out the *)

<<<<whatever you want to be colored>>>>>

here are some examples

and after i hit preview
http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/1579/color2zu6.png

Now, I didn't see anything about changing the size of the font. So, here's the code to do that:
<<<<<w/e you want to change the size of>>>>

and my example:
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/7904/size1sd4.png
after preview:
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/8725/size2kz6.png

and some other useful tips:
BOLD, Italics, and Underline
[*b]<<<words>>>[/b] for bold.
[*i]<<<words>>>[/i] for italics.
[*u]<<<words>>>[/u] for underline

code:

after preview:

and that's all folks!!!
