    I'm going to go with yes.
    If you have a WSO the only way to advertise it here is in your sig. I've also seen many members with links to threads here that they felt where important or real good info.

        Here would be an exception that I can think of right off the top of my head.

        Let's say a WSO had an affiliate program. You could NOT link to it as an
        affiliate because no affiliate links are allowed in sigs...even if the link itself
        directed to a forum post.

        I could probably think of other examples if I tried hard enough.

        Point is, unless it's a post YOU made or a site YOU put up, it's best to err
        on the side of caution.

        The last thing you want is for your sig to be removed or worse, you banned,
        because you linked to a page you weren't supposed to link to.

        Just my 2 cents on the subject. For an actual correct answer, only the mods
        and/or Admin can give you a definitive answer.

    I would say yes - one of my links now always goes to me latest WSO.

    Just makes sense to me....

      I think it is okay, Jonathan. Especially if they are your own threads or WSOs.

        Changed it slightly so it links to the WSO.
