How do i make a banner with a clickable link on it? I.e a link to my thread, like the one i have now but a picture instead. Do i have to change the html (and if so how) or is there some way that dakka will do this when hosting an image?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I have worked it out. It was really very simple, dakka allows you to add links when uploading an image.

The other way to do it for future reference is with the tags.
Basically when you post a link it ends up looking like this.
[url]webaddress[/url]
And the url/address between those url tags is made into a link.
By moving it around like this
[url=webadress]text you want to behave as a link[/url]
It instead makes the text between it act as the link, this also applies to images.

Anyway it'd look like this
[url=addressyouwanttolinkto][img]address of image you want to use as a link[/img][/url]

Also worth noting from experience for signatures Dakka seems a bit tricky if you want to make both text and an image the same link with the same tags, so you'd need to make two separate links if you want to do this.

Thanks man!
