How To Embed Link Into Text In Signature?

[DougGuy]

I have a link in my sig that will open the "send private message" dialog, instead of having the link visible, how can I embed the link into text where a user simply clicks the text and it opens the "send private message" dialog?

1. Try this: Click here to send me a PM (https://castboolits.gunloads.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=29606)

It's hard to show the code for that without the forum software "running" it as designed and making the link work instead of showing the code, so I'll try to shot it below using curly brackets instead:


{url=https://castboolits.gunloads.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=29606}Click here to send me a PM{/url}

Where the brackets above are curly, replace them with square brackets ie. [ and ]

2. Similarly, you can do your Facebook link like this:

{url=https://www.facebook.com/Cylinderhone-756429174391912/}Also on Facebook:{/url}

Comes out as:

I thought I figured it out back when I made the post but your method cleans it up much better. Thanks!

You helped me out with throating a CZ barrel so I'm glad to help a bit in return, Doug :)
