Some members at APSense have signatures that are not clickable. We have to copy and paste the http://whatever.com into a new browser tab.

Here's how to make a signature clickable.

The signature is made of UBB codes. Here's mine :

[url=http://apsense.cc/e1d7/][color=green]Become an APSense Insider Today![/color][/url]

The URL, in this case http://apsense.cc/e1d7/ is between [url=  and  ]

The text you want us to see is Become an APSense Insider Today!

The [color=green]   and   [/color] tell what color the text will appear.

The [/url] is required at the end.

Look at my signature, you'll see it appears as Become an APSense Insider Today!

We are limited to 100 characters for the whole thing. If you don't use the color tag, you have some more characters, and your signature will be blue, just like any other link we see everywhere.

Well, any link in a place that asks for UBB codes. This is not HTML.

I think many forums ask for UBB codes in their signature.

Thanks Philippe. I bookmarked it! I guess this can be used for any link you want to create. Right?

UBB codes are used also on ALL forum websites. Of course here at APSense the software system and also members and managers are with their eyes on scammers, so they cannot do much damage.

Teodor,

All I know about UBB codes are what I use for the signature and what we find in the APSense Wiki syntax page. :)

Well, I trust that things always turn around right when the efforts are honest and common sense is applied.

Jimmie, Susmanto, you are both welcome. :)

Just to let you know, at APSense, when we like an article, we can click the "top it" link at the tip left. Not to say you have to do it, but it seems people don't notice it at first.

Bad news is that spammers know the UBB codes and all the tips and tricks that are applied online. Another bad news is that Newbies don't know it and it takes long time to learn...
GOOD NEWS is that anyone can learn and be a real student in this ONLINE BUSINESS SCHOOL for free here at APSense... for example.

Yes, indeed, Teodor. And I'm sure there are truckloads of UBB tutorials out there. Still, why not offer the step by step recipe that applies here. :)

Thanks for your input. Your comment is now topped.

Anyone can apply this to signature and to links. When I ask a friend to send me his/her link, most are not doing this, but they have the school that teaches them how to do it at the bottom of the mail box pf APSense (UBB codes). It is easy and simple.
Success!

LOL yes you are, Belinha :)

Orange became very popular 2 days ago in Canada, since the New Democratic Party won 100 seats in the federal election

Green, yeah, environment and dollars, good!! Orange is a color a like a lot. In Portugal is associated with right wing party, PSD, probably the one who will win next June elections. This doesn't mean I endorse PSD or that I am making political propaganda at Apsense!

Wow, Radek, brown is not bad, not bad at all...

Belinha, I like the color you chose too :)

I'll stick with green, it's politically correct, you know, green for environment, some would say green for dollars, yeah, that too LOL

Hi Philippe! Thanks to you my signature is now clickable! But I had some trouble using the APsense URL shortner. It did not work fine until I removed the www. Probably it's just the way that people use the APsense shortner but I did not know...I think I'm going to change the color now!
