Hi,

I've tried to put a couple of website links in my signature (in my google email account) but I can't figure out how to activate them. In my Yahoo account, the links appear in blue font and are activated. In google, they are just black font and are as dead as the proverbial parrot! I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Have tried adding the http:// bit before the actual link??

Thanks, abbasinho.

And wow, I feel such a dur-brain!!!
Yes, that works perfectly. I don't think it looks great, to be honest, and I don't have to add the http:// in my Yahoo account, which makes it look cleaner. Still, I'm happy with it, regardless.

No problem mate - it almost become the norm to just type the url nowadays without the http:// that most email browser automatically accept it as an url - it seems the all powerful, all conquering google don't use this widely accepted style!

And just today I have had an email from a fellow google emailer, with 2 signatures in his links, and WITHOUT the http//! So it can be done, it seems. I intend to ask him how he did it. But he takes months to reply, as a general rule. If anyone else knows how he did, don't be afraid to jump in.

I'd hazard a guess that he used html tags...

Visit <a href="www.blablabla.com">Bla bla bla</a> to find out more!!!!!

Or something along those lines, anything within the anchor tags (<a></a>) will be hypertext links.

Thanks, Carl. Will check it out.
