For Internet Explorer Users
Creating your HTML signature
Copy the below and paste inside Windows notepad or word program (or any word processing program you have) so you can work on it and read the instructions
<A HREF="your Wiki URL">Your WIKI Name </A>
To get your Web Address from your wiki page, go to your WIKI page, click inside the browser address box (top of the page), Internet explorer will "blue/highlight" the address, now just do one of the following (making sure the web addy stays BLUE or highlighted), right click and COPY, OR do key combo of CTRL A. (or a short cut way is to go to the User page: Alexbrownracing User Page find your name and place your mouse cursor over your name, right click and select "copy shortcut")
Now Paste that link inside the FIRST 2 " like this: (you will replace the words Your WIKI URL (DO NOT remove the " " !!)
<A HREF="http://www.alexbrownracing.com/wiki/index.php/MaryLOhio">MaryLOhio </A>'''
Now where it says Your WiKI name, type your WIKI name inside the the > < as I did above
Adding your signature to Abr Forum
(if you know how to do Tabs on IE, you can open a new Tab and go to the ABR forum on the new tab to do the following)
1. In the upper right hand corner of the forum you will see MY Forums/My Preferences, click on that
2. On the left, you will see my Preferences, click on that
3. Look for a box that will say Personal Signature on top.
4. You will see WYSIWYG SOURCE, click on the circle beside Source
5. Copy the new HTML signature code you just created from the steps above and PASTE inside the signature box
6. Now click on the circle beside WYSIWYG and you should see:
YOUR WIKI NAME/WIKI PAGE.. for mine it will say MaryLOhio WIKI Page, what ever is in the < < will be what shows up!
If you see that, then you did it right!
IF you want a line above your name (like mine) just put your curser infront of your wiki name, enter once or twice, then go back to the top of the box and just enter a line_____________________
You can also change color and fonts by highlighting your WIKI page signature in WYSIWYG and choose from the drop down menu what you want..
Once you are done, be sure to go to the Bottom of that page and hit SUBMITto save your changes...(look at the top of the page and it should say "Message Board Preferences have been updated" that means you saved correctly

You will not be able to see your new link until you go to post, but there is a way to "preview" it without Posting (and showing everyone your "boo boo" in case you messed up!
Go to a thread and reply to someone, just type in anything you want.. Now, Look and you will see a PREVIEW button beside POST, click on that and you should see your post WITH your new Signature line! if it is correct it will show up as whatever you entered in for your WIKI page name, eg.. Jane Doe's Wiki Page" (and a line under it)
If you want a Line above it, follow instructions above, if you want "color" or different fonts" contact me on how to do so (locarumo@gmail.com)
