Signatures

[worm]

Anyone figured this problem out?

When you go into "user CP' and edit your signature it seems the image tags are switched off so what should be a picture in our profiles comes up as a link.
Brackie.... maybe you have to switch something on :confused:
Or am i doing something wrong :?:

[brackie]

Try the image tags now.

hmmm.. it now says its on but doesnt seem to work.... Must be something else.. ill try and have a look around

And when you get it to work, tell the rest of us how to do it.

I think that I have an idea what is up, will post an idea soon...

So the situation is that it is working as it should.

Go to control panel > signature

Click on the image button, looks like the mountain in a square

then press the preview button and it will appear at the top of the screen

I think that the only suggestion that I can make is that you are using lowercase letters in the html tags.

ie, [img] instead of [IMG]

only a small thing, but may just be the problem that you are having!

so how do I cut up pics and stick em together in a line so that it can be a signature.

There are 2 main ways.

1. edit them in a program; or

2. resize them until they are small enough and then put more than one in your signature.

Note that the signature can only be 100 characters long. If you have a problem with a link to an image that is too big, go to www.tinyurl.com and put in the large url and it will return with a small one for you.

for example - http://www.volkswagen.de/vwcms_publish/etc/medialib/vwcms/virtualmaster/de/Models/golf0/Golf/stage.Par.0002.Image.jpg then becomes http://tinyurl.com/lsacq

And if that is all too much Loon, send me some pics or post them up and then I will make a nice signature for you! :D Can feel the love?

Hey Loon, send your pics via email to me and ill see if i can join em together... I use MS paint... works fine just takes a bit of p*** farting around
email is

Thanks Mikinoz... using IMG tags doesnt work, even with capitals. Using that button u mentioned does the trick.

testing the signature

why even if I reduce the size of my bloody pic to 100 by 133 it keeps coming up huge @$#!%%% computers

[worm]

try save it as a jpeg if it isnt already. jpeg keeps them small while keeping good quality

It already is and I reduced it in photoshop but none of my girly whining is making it better :(
I saved it in photobucket and will test it so you can see whats going on...

[gtigrl]

Aaargg NOW it works ......

Looks OK to me. The curbed wheel must be on the LHS, eh?
