okay, so you're new here at anandtech (or not new and just don't pay attention) and you're all like "i just put together a l33t rig that pwns j00 all and i must show everyone!" so what do you do? you start listing things in your sig and it grows to about 20 lines and then everytime you post in a thread everyone has to scroll through your extra 20 line sig.
so what do you do? do the smart thing and check out another nice feature anandtech has to offer. it's really easy, start by going to www.anandtech.com and following this easy to use guide!
1. using your browser of choice journey to www.anandtech.com.
2. guide your trusty mouse pointer to the left hand column of the page and click on 'My AnandTech'.
3. this is where it gets tricky. enter in your forum user/pass under "Login to My AnandTech" and click 'Login'. having the site remember your user/pass is optional of course.
4. you will now find yourself at your very own My AnandTech page! joy! here you will see a section called Information, click the link that says 'Edit my System Rigs profile'.
5. we're almost there! just hang with me a few more moments! now, click on 'add system rig' and start plugging in those uber l33t components!
6. now click the 'Add System Rig button' at the bottom of the page. this will generate a page for your uber l33t rig. you'll see a box with a link in it, highlight that link, right click your mouse and hit copy.
7. but wait, we're not quite done yet! now log back into the forums and click on 'profile' at the top right.
8. scroll down to the signature box and delete all that spammy stuff you've got there now. this is where we get technical! here's what you need to add in your sig:
MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE SPACES BESIDE THE BRACKETS OR THIS WILL NOT WORK. if you don't understand what i mean just say so and someone will explain it to you.
[ L=my uber l33t rig ]http://www.anandtech.com/mysystemrig.aspx?id=29212[ /L ]
or
[ L=(insert link name) ](insert url)[ /L ]
plug your own url in where mine is, please don't try and pass my rig off as your own, that's just LAME.
9. now click on 'Update Profile' and you're golden! just remember, this only works for system specs, your ultra cool mod quotes will not be transferred, so skip those when clearing out your old system specs!
edit: in my case the link i'm getting doesn't work, so just view your rig and copy & paste that url to your sig.
if you have any questions, feel free to pm someone else and ask them.
