HOWTO: Add a signature to my profile

[bravo 35]

Go to My Controls>Edit Signature or Click Here

Insert some text of a link to your picture inside image tags.

Insert anything else you might want to.

Click update my signature.

There are limits to maximum image size. If your image is too large you will see an error message. use an image editor like photoshop, The Gimp (Free GNU) or irfanview (free) to make your image smaller.

If you need somewhere to store your image online try any free image hosting site. I use xs.to

You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.gif, an invalid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif

Are you trying to put a gif in?

If you are, please dont. They're a pain in the arse.

gif as a last resort, have been trying with jpegs but i cant figure it out and its driving me bananas so ive put it in the too hard basket. have placed a jpeg on xs.to then copy the link and paste it into the insert image under manage signature and nothing, only text, have added .jpeg as an extension, no extension, .gif and nothing seems to work ...

must be an operator error

Hows this

[polley 916]

The host you are using to host your image does not support it (does not allow to to link directly to the image).

add this to your signature and it should work:

sorry tony, create a gallery - where do you mean ? it wont let me upload an image off my pc, it asks for a url ?

still having a few 'technical' issues .......

[polley 916]

Just copy paste what is inside the code box into your signature... and it will work.

How your sig is now is close, remove the code tag at the front. and the IMG closing tag needs a / in it to close it.

But your image link is dead anyway.

There ya go.

ps, When you upload photos from your comp into your gallery use the Browse button on the New Image page.
