I might be wrong but I thought I read somewhere in order to add links you have to be a Premier Member.

Just use the link button as you would in a normal post / thread. Here's a picture to help explain. If you click on my pic you can enlarge it to view it better.

The link button doesn't work, as SmokinHusker said above, I believe you need to be a Premier Member to add anything serious to your signature.

I can copy and paste the link without using that button but what I want to know is how to change the name of the link like Pops and many others have.

For example, instead of this:

http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/...e-smoker-no-more-opening-the-door-amnps-ready

I would like it to say and look like this:

External Fire Box Mod

and still be a link.

That brings up a different discussion...how do you get to be a premier member?

The payment options are:

1 year ($15)
2 years($25)
3 years ($40)
99 years ($100)

Being a Premier Member gives you a few perks but it also gives you the sense of satisfaction that you are supporting a good thing.

The perks:

Ability to use a custom user title below your username on every post
Ability to add commercial or outbound links in your signature
Ad free browsing (must be turned off manually in your profile area)

Edited to add: Cross post with S2K9K, but i'll leave it because, oddly, there are no details on the payment page.

s2k9k · Jul 26, 2012

Thanks Martin! I thought the details were there but guess I didn't really look at it.

piaconis · Jul 26, 2012

Thanks all! I searched for this before because I wanted to support the site, but the other links took me to a dead end.

piaconis · Jul 26, 2012

To be honest, the site has saved me at least $15 worth of meat I would have wrecked without it, lol!

Yeah, you're right the link feature doesn't work.. well it appears to work until you save it and then it just shows up as text. Good to know. Even messing with the source code doesn't work.

S2K9K

If you click the source button in the upper left you can edit how the link appears. Here's an example that matches what you were trying to accomplish:


<a href="http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/...e-smoker-no-more-opening-the-door-amnps-ready">External Fire Box Mod</a>

I don't understand your example, that's not what I want to accomplish.

thoseguys26 · Jul 26, 2012

First off you need to be a premier member to have links in your signature. (Just learned this)

Then, if you paste this:


<a href="http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/...e-smoker-no-more-opening-the-door-amnps-ready">External Fire Box Mod</a>



in your signature, after you clicked the 'source' button as I explained, then hit 'submit' to save, you'll see just "External Fire Box Mod" but it'll be a link.

Does this make sense?

Here's another example:

<a href="Put your link between the brackets here">This text between the carrots is what your link will actually look like</a>

One more, source code & live preview:

<a href="http://www.smokingmeatforums.comhttps://smokingmeatforums.com/members/52166">MY PROFILE</a>

MY PROFILE

s2k9k · Jul 26, 2012

OK makes sense now THANKS! I didn't see where you added the text at the end of the link between the carrots, I thought it was the same link.

No prob, Nice I see it worked in your signature!
