Do links have viruses.
If the link worked at first!
Why wont it work now?
Or are links a law to themselves.

It never worked. I did try to tell you but you insisted it was fixed and I didn't like to argue (I know, not like me! )

Try this (again? Sorry I think I'm repeating myself) but take it a step at a time. And delete the existing link before you start. http://www.bykimbo.com/ebid/help/addingsig.htm

Just click the link in your sig and you will see that it doesn't work.
The problem was caused by the forum software and you not being familiar with it. To stop long links stretching the page sideways, the forum software visually shortens the link when it displays - the full link is held internally and still works. When a user - in this case you - just copies and pastes the link that shows in the forum, you end up with the short version (which doesn't work).

To get the full, correct version of a shortened link you need to RIGHT CLICK on it and select COPY LINK or COPY DESTINATION from the drop down list. Then you can paste that full version into your sig file.

Always remember to check anything and everything you publish for other people to see. Most people will not tell you that there is a mistake, they'll just ignore your stuff and move on to someone else's.

Because you've got it wrong.

No, it wasn't. It's never, ever worked, sorry.

Nope, still the truncated version. Follow Damian's instructions to the letter and you'll be fine!

Try this link http://uk.nine.ebid.net/perl/main.cg...arch&type=user instead.

Copy and paste from the link above and NOT any version that you have used previously in your sig.

Ib can change signature every time now.

You're not using the link Damian told you to. In his post timed 02:19 he quotes my link, which works, and tells you how to use right click to get the full address. Now you've worked out how to post it to your sig' you ought to be able to get that to work.
