Just posting a reminder on the field syntax for getting your post linked into your Sig.

1. Some new members .. your sigs aren't showing yet. I think there is a minimum post count? But it's low, it should show up very soon.

2. Copy the link to YOUR post.. it is little number in the upper right hand corner of YOUR post.. (this post here it is the number #501 ) Right click on that number/link, and select "copy link location" to paste it into the url field later.

Then when editing your Sig, put in this.
