On a forum I use , that allows sigs with links, some peoples appear as

(random example) https://www.blah.com

how ever some peoples appear as

King of blah

I can see how to do it on here using the createlink.gif feature , but there is not one in the profile options, so I guess I need some HTML tags or something?

    What forum is it? Do you know what software they are using? A lot of forums turn off HTML.

    It varies on forum to forum, most should support the bbcode format
     
[ url = test.com ] Test [ / url ]
 
(remove all spaces)

    but then again it might not, you should really ask on the forum you want the link on.
