Put this in your signature (ps: I'm using this thread as the link example):

Code

[url=http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1229318892/]This thread[/url]

Replace the url with the link for your script and "This thread" with the name of your script.

ok i get that except for that number. where does that come from?

That's the thread number (part of the url), every thread has one.

Bert adds: Just go to the thread you want to add, then copy-n-paste the link from up top into the code Sniper has provided

Just don't do what mcornetto did with his mega-laundry list of titles. You know how annoying it to be using your mouse scroll wheel to zip down a page only to stall and find you're scrolling through a signature?

And Stevie, did you mean to have the word "code" in there?
