Two tier DIYNOT.

Nothing of the sort for me. I’m assuming you’ve read it now and know what a signature and a hyperlink is so I’m going to delete it now before this thread is locked as all I'm doing is directing traffic to JohnD's link.

Yes, I know how hyperlinks work. And yet again his signature is not a hyperlink.

In the past I have had to learn the nuts and bolts of the web and things like reverse DNS. Seriously, I spent many hours working out how info gets from point a, or b over the web and the protocols involved, including the protocols required to send emails from ecommerce sites, ensuring that they don't end up as spam.

Okay. Here it is again. Just for you. The signature/hyperlink is the bit I’ve marked. Hover/hold/click on that. If that doesn’t work, there’s something wrong with you or your computer. Either that or that course was run by Mickey Mouse!



You'll get this: I can’t explain it any simpler.

Got it? If you haven’t got it by now, you never will. I’m deleting it and you can go back to acting the goof.
 
I was going to hover over the link but my helicopter is in for a sevice!
 
Are you being serious? CLICK. AND. HOLD. ON. THE. LINK. If you’re not sure what a hyperlink is, ask a child to show you.

Anyone else have trouble seeing it?

Are you having some kind of "falling down" moment?

I have already said that you might have had a valid point, at some point prior to your post. But nah, you are wrong. I was trying to be polite, but I guess that was a wasted effort.

I can no longer click on an IMAGE that you deleted, I can however go to the guy's signature and read what it says. There really is no hyperlink in it. If you don't believe me, use Chrome on laptop, right click on it and select "inspect element". You will then see the HTML source code. Look for Href tags, there are none.

I get that you don't like the fellow but when someone else points out that you are wrong, arguing with them makes you look like someone that shouts at pigeons.

It’s been removed, it showed up for me earlier.
 
You profess to be internet savvy but you don’t even know what a signature is. I give up.

Which signature? You said that there was one which was a hyperlink. You may well have been correct about that, however, at the point at which I replied to your post, there was no hyperlink. You posting a photo and insisting that I click on it demonstrates that you really do not understand how the web works.

I have no idea why it is when you click on his current signature (which has NO hyperlinks), your facebook app takes you in a given direction.

Sorry mate, valid point or not, you are making yourself look silly. For the record, I do not dislike you, but I will defend myself when dealing with people that maligin me but have no idea about how the web or internet work.
 
Here it is again. DO NOT CLICK ON THE IMAGE FFS. I've given you another clue in the picture. Yes, it’s not on his signature anymore, he's removed it as it was breaking forum rules. I’m being kind here and giving you the benefit of doubt, have just one more go. HOVER ON THE HYPERLINK SIGNATURE IN THE BOX WITH THE RED ARROWS POINTING TO IT. Tell me what happens.

Seriously... you keep posting the same image, and it is still nothing more than an image.

What is wrong with you? There is still no hyperlink.
 
Now to try and quell this, before it gets too silly - Mottie are you using Safari as your browser (you seem to have done so before)?
I believe Safari has a built in facility to interact with text (i.e. hyperlinks) within images - something the rest of us can not do - the image is purely an image.

Ye, I am. Ah, right. Just tried it in chrome and … nothing!

@opps : A thousand apologies I really thought I was going mad or you were winding me up. Sorry.

I realise you can’t open it but can you see the text of the hyperlink? I could in chrome.

Every day's a school day!
