I have a stupid question.

I see many members that have pics in their sigs. How do you do that?

Loviatar · Mar 01, 2005, 12:56 AM // 00:56

go to user cp (control panel) then click edit signature

with insert image i think

Sausaletus Rex · Mar 01, 2005, 01:00 AM // 01:00

No, Lovitar, he's talking about sigs or signatures, the part at the bottom of every post. To change one of those you go to, oddly enough, "Edit Signature" and to add an image (less than 120pixels high by 450 pixels wide, please, smaller if you also include text.) you use the same tags that would let you add a picture to your post. That's the image tag of {img}somepicturesurl.somepicformat{/url} with [ in place of {

I have directlly hardwired these forums into my cerberal cortex. Should you make a mistake in a post, I can instantly respond before you correct it. Proof-read! Or I shall snake you, too!

Eh, it's all good Lovitar, I'll let my comments stand as I think they're useful...

Mslynx · Mar 02, 2005, 01:43 AM // 01:43

Thank you for the feedback. So the pic in the sig needs to be URL? I was hoping I could just bring 1 in from my HD. Anyhow, on a different note. I am not a he. The Ms in Mslynx is feminine. Yeah! Female gamer!

Sausaletus Rex · Mar 02, 2005, 02:32 AM // 02:32

My mistake, Mslynx. I was playing the percentages on that one, as I'm of the belief that the males here far outnumber the females...

But yes, your image needs to be hosted somewhere else for it to be in your signature. There are several free image hosting options available though. I'm sure others can provide you with more but the one I know of is Imageshack. Just upload your sig pic there and link to that url in your signature with [img[ and you'll have a graphical signature. There's a limit to the file size but anything that would fit in your sig should be well under it.

well seeing as you have a signature (though not a pic) i'm guessing you can get to the window (i'm a genious!). so your question is how do you put pictures correct? well... First, go to http://imageshack.us and click browse. Fine a picture from your computer (hardrive, floppy disk... blah blah) and then click "host it" it will take a second load (it will take 10 minutes if you try anything other than jpg pics) and then it will give you a bunch of random crap in a box. this is what they give you "[ URL=http://imageshack.us][ IMG]http://randomfakeurlforahostedpicturethatijustmadeup.com/[ /IMG][ /URL]" all you want is the part that says "[ IMG]http://thathugefakepicturenamethatimadeupabovethatididn't feellikecopying[ /IMG]" (without any spaces... i did that so it wouldn't think i was trying to put a picture). Then you paste that into your signature box and erase the extra crap that isn't in [ IMG][/IMG] tabs.

if you want to make it so that when you click your image, it takes you to a website, write this in your sig box:

[ URL=http://whateverwebsiteyouwantittogoto.com/][ IMG]http://imgyourpicture'sURL.com/[ /IMG][ /URL] (again: no spaces)

Dreamsmith · Mar 02, 2005, 04:35 AM // 04:35

You can do multiples too, if you want. For example, my sig is three separate images, with three different URL links.

Owend · Apr 12, 2005, 03:41 AM // 03:41

Does the new signature append to all previous posts?

Edit: I guess not. My new signature didn't show until the next post.

Inde · Apr 12, 2005, 03:54 AM // 03:54

Ironic. You finally get the sig working, and I nuke it.

Max height: 120 pixels.

Actually, it does. Perhaps your browser cache needed refreshing?
