Ok, I need a little assistance. At one time I found a thread on POTN discussing how to edit a phrase in my signature line so it would become a hyperlink to my web gallery. The good news is I did it once and it worked. The bad news is I changed the web address to my photo gallery and I don’t remember how to change the address for the hyperlink. If you click on "My Photos" below, it just takes you to the Smugmug homepage.
I “right clicked” on the link and viewed the source to see what was written. It shows the old web address, but if I try to cut & paste the changes, I get a warning telling me my address line is too long.
Does anyone know how I managed to do this in the first place???

Enter User CP, Edit Signature and click the A/A icon on the top right of the signature editor to edit in ‘plain text’ view rather than using ‘WYSIWYG’ view.
Some times when editing in the rich text (WYSIWYG) view you introduce a lot of redundant vB code that makes your signature too long.
I hope you will successfully edit your signature this way.

Just an update - It was just as easy as you said. I switched from the WYSIWYG editor to the plain text editor and I could easily change my web gallery address.
Thanks Again.
