trouble with [URL] Tag

Cyrus106

Hey guys, this has prob. been asked a million times, but I see no topic about it so I have to ask(I did lurk first) how do you post a link to something(say a youtube video) in your sig, but give it certain wording? Like "Let's play (insert name here)" but it's a link. I used to know how to do this but I haven't used forums in a year or so, so it slipped my mind. Thanks for your time

This is a recursive link.

Just remove the periods.

what you want is

[url*="http://whatever"]title text[/url]

remove the *

Edit: while we're here, does anyone know if it's possible to link to a youtube video without embedding it?

I do, you just need to copy and paste the video link and add (link) tags to it.
And thanks for the help guys

Sir Carcass

Just think of it like any other tag.

[.url][/url]

Text goes between

[.url]This is my link[/url]

Only add an equal sign and the url in the first tag

[.url=http://www.address.com]This is my link[/url]
