All right, maybe I'm overthinking this...

I'd like to put links in my signature to my previous works, like so many others, but perhaps I was dropped on my head one too many times, because for the life of me, I can't seem to get the signature to accept a link.  Secondary menu does not give me an option to place a link in the text on the Signature window when I'm editing my profile, and more specifically, my signature.

What am I missing? 

FYI: running a Mac, using Safari 15.6.1, on macOS 12.6.1 (Monterey), if that matters.

Thanks in advance for any guidance someone can give me.

If you can get to my story from my signature, then the answer is simple:
Go to bit.ly, make a short link, and follow the instructions on the following forum site page:

Be sure to use a full HTTP address; otherwise, the forum will prefix it with its own site automatically.

The syntax is:
Read my Challenge #1 story titled [URL=LINK]YOUR STORY TITLE[/URL]

...where LINK is a full URL.  Use "http" and so on.

Hi there,
 
LaissezFaire made an easy-t0-follow video a while back. 
Hope this helps.
