URL links in signatures
Little detail, but Apolyton is almost PERFECT so we can try to make it even closer

In signatures, URL (such as in my signature: www.salon.com) are only in text and not as a URL link. Could it automatically be made as a link so people would only click on it to follow the URL?

Thx and happy 2 weeks before Chrismas all


PS: Bravo Marc, your website is a marvel

You need to change it using the already existing [ URL ] tag.

Now: www.salon.com
Then: [ URL]www.salon.com[ /URL] = www.salon.com

P.S. Remove the extra space in the tags.

Thanks Rasbelin

Maybe it would stil be an idea to put it automatic like in threads or in Microsoft Word 2000, for newbies?

Well, it could be a nice idea, but the current system is better for e.g. me as I'm fine with the current one (and more used to it).

Some people may want only text.

And automatic parsing won't always help.

Some people are mean enough to make other people actually type out the URL rather than leave it to asingle click.

Disgusting isn't it!

Now WHO did I steal that sig from?

One link for each letter, eh? Never noticed that before. Very nice.

Hmmm... maybe I should do the same...

All those links indicate your time is far from wasted IMO.
