I Want to be Cool Too, or How to Get a Signature at the End of a Post

I noticed that posters are able to put a link to their campaign at the end of their post's. That looks pretty cool and I would like to try it too.

I attempted to do it under the personal settings, but I notice that it is not coming up.

I figured now I would take the bravely noobish step and just ask.

    And it truly was a brave step! Yet alas, your quest is in vain, there is no automated option. This is how I do it at least:

    I've been using "Texter":http://lifehacker.com/238306/lifehacker-code-texter-windows, which is a simple but fun utility. Basically, you define a string. Let's say... "opsig". Now, when I type "opsig" and hit [Enter], the following happens automatically:

    -Thorvaldr
    DM of "Tyellador":https://tyellador.obsidianportal.com/

    All you have to do is download the program, add a hotstring (in this case, "opsig"), type what you want it to change to (in this case:

    bc. -Thorvaldr
    DM of "Tyellador":https://tyellador.obsidianportal.com/

    ) and set your trigger. So for me, this will only happen when I hit [Enter] after typing "opsig". You can set the trigger to be [Tab] or [Space] as well. Or just have it change everything instantly!

    I do it the hard way, because my skills lie in brute force (jk).

    I type this at the bottom of each page I remember;

    @"Unconquered Kingdoms":https://unconquered-kingdoms.obsidianportal.com/@

    Which end up looking like this;

    "Unconquered Kingdoms":https://unconquered-kingdoms.obsidianportal.com/

    Just make sure if you use the format SkidAce uses that you select "textile" format above the preview button!

    I'm lazy. I just open a previous posting of mine and steal the signature code from there then paste it into my messages on the forums.

    Thanks everyone. I have been on radio silence finishing up some stuff for two games I have going. Now I have the skills to be awesome.

    Thorvald, I will have to try the lifehacker option from my home computer as work frowns on me downloading random stuff. (I have no idea why............)
