Hi guys! I'm new here and still editing my profile at the moment. I'd like to insert a link to my Facebook page in my forum signature so that people may have a closer look on me. But it seems I can't do it in the profile editing page... Can I actually do it? How? Thanks!

Do you mean the Forum Signature under Edit Profile? I only find a box to type in text, no tool for link inserting... Am I in the wrong place?

I'm also curious about this. I'd like to add a URL to my signature. Currently, I'm only able to add text.

1. Add a link to your Yahoo! signature. Log in to your Yahoo.com email account and click "Options" at the top of the screen on the right side. On the Options screen, click "Signature." On the Signature screen, enter your website URL in the large blank box (including the "http://" to make the link active). Click "Save."

  • Add a link to your Gmail signature. Log in to your Google Mail account. Click "Settings," located on the top right side of the page. On the next screen, scroll down to the signature section. Select the radio button beside the large empty box. In the box, type in your website link and click "Save Changes."

  • Add a link to your Outlook signature. Open Outlook and log in. Select "Options" from the toolbar and then click the "Mail Format" tab. Look for the signature picker section and click on it. Click "New." Create a name for your signature. Click the radio button beside the word "Start" and click "Next." In the blank box, enter your website URL and click "Finish" at the bottom of the screen. This will be your active signature. If you like, you can create more than one signature; when you create a new signature, the old one will be saved under the name you gave it.

    Add a link to your Hotmail signature. Log in to your Hotmail account and click "Options." Under "More Options," find the "Signature" link and select it. On the Signature page, select "Mail" and then "Personal E-mail Signature." Type your signature into the blank box and click "OK."

    Alternatively, change the text in your signature to a hyperlink. In most email services, you can set up text as a hyperlink in your signature, instead of typing your URL. To do this, type what you want the link to say, for example "My Website." Use your mouse to highlight the text by clicking the first letter and dragging the mouse across. Look for a small icon with a piece of a chain or something that says "Link." Click the icon. In the box that appears, type your website URL and hit the "Enter" key. The text is now a link to your website.

Advantages of having Link
 
1) People will go through your link, it is the best way to market your product or services.
2) you will get more back links
3) your page rank increases.
4) More publicity

Hi,

Well its very important to add your link, if incase you want to promote your website. You can insert the link by editing your profile for signature and then you can add your link. This is the best way to give information about your services to the people. This will also help you to get backlinks, and your website will get more publicity.
