How do I link an image to a different site, as in what

Judi has at the bottom of her Bio? I'd like to tidy up my bio and my signature, and use images instead of text, as it's getting rather cluttered. but i have no idea how to create a link to an external site using the image as the clicky thing. (ooo, you can tell i'm just a computer whizz, eh?) i tried looking at judi's souce code, but could make neither head nor tail of it.

any words of wisdom?

this is in the forum code section ... if you click on 'my preferences' and choose forum code there is a tutorial to show you how to do it ...

Well thats actually her signature not part of the bio but it show sup on her forum posts (if you have signatures turned on) and it shows up in the bottom of the profile)

Easiest way todo it is to use the 3rd button in a thread post with the picture put in the url of the picture. The highlight that text and hit the 4th button the link button put where u want the link to go. The copy and paste that whole string into your signature or bio.

do you have the image that you want to use as a link in your profile?

what website do you want to link to?

i have the images, and i want to link to... my cousin's site - he's a wonderful snger/songwriter with a new album, a frined's web tv site, my dpc prints, my web site, etc. etc. all this get's a bit much with text, but with individual logs, it should be ok.

thanks, RMS, i'll try that!

Without seeing the code it's hard to tell.

Looks like the bottom one is missing img tags.

Quote your other post to get the exact code needed since that one works.
