As of lately I can't seem to hyper link with the name of the deck.
I can Hyperlink easily enough, its just the ugly one that looks like:
Http://www.dkljdljflldjkljflka.lajlkfdjkja;lkjl;16542635, you know?
I want to use the deck's name like before, but there's been a change so it seems that I can't.

BTW that's not a REAL link. I don't know why, but the computer seems to think it is.
 
First off, if you put www.anything, it's going to automatically create a URL. That's the way vBulletin forums are setup to react. It wouldn't be able to tell a real link from a fake one, but any time you use the "www." it's going to presume it's a real hyperlink.

Now, are you taking about the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card auto-linking feature we have set up here? Or are you taklking about something else?
 
Something Else. When you post your deck. You copy the link address to add to you other decks in your signature, only now, it won't let me use the deck name instead of the link address.
 
Walk me through each step your talking to put a link in your signature and I can probable help you.
 
Okay:
1. Type in desired deck.
2. Post desired deck.
3. Copy Link in address bar
4. Open account
5. Open Edit Signature
6. Click on the Hyperlink symbol
7. Paste URL
8. Insert deck name when prompted (This step has been removed/altered.)
9. preview signature
10. Complete.
 
Okay, the "8th" step hasn't been removed. It's just that your using the Advance WYSIWYG Editor. That step doesn't exist at all in that kind of editor.

There's several things you can do, and it looks like you may have done some of them, judging by your existing Sig. One of these is to Copy the address of your deck, then when you go to edit your signature, you have to type in the name of your deck. Then Select the text with your mouse. Click the Hyperlink button and Paste in your address and click Okay. The Selected text will now be a link to your deck.

Like so.

There's another way to do that, and it's a little bit simpler. Since your using the Advance WYSIWYG Editor (stands for What You See is What You Get), you can just Copy a link and Paste it in.

For example, I'm looking at the main page the Advance Format Decks section, and your Dragon Cybers deck is at the top of the list right now. If I Select the name of your deck with my mouse and hit Copy, I can Paste the link and the name just as it was written. Like so: Dragon Cybers A new dragon deck. Just testing it out.

I didn't have to click any buttons, I just copied and pasted the name from the main page. Those two ways only work with the Advanced Editor that your using.
 
Sorry, had to leave for work or be late!!
I'm NEVER late if I can help it.
Thanx, I knew there was an answer,
but I also knew I didn't have it.
Hope you didn't work to hard finding it.
At least in the future people will have
a solution here.
I did good to learn how to hyperlink in
the first place. Something or someone
changed it and messed me all up.
Not the most internet savvy. I do good
to keep my machine running, you know?

By the by, I found an even easier way to do it, my thanx to you!!
Just copy the name of the deck in the main page.
Then paste it into your edit signature area where you want it.
Now, just highlight it and type it as you want, but you can't
use the backspace and you must use _ for the spaces.
Like this: Justice_City looks like: Justice_City in your signature.
