cheers

 

thanks

 

Question. I can't do the copy image location. does it have to be a certain kind of pic?

 

@DevilsPup

Where is that picture now?
Make own account in any free photo bucket you want and put that image in there. (or photo place in this site)

Then you write (in My Account -> Edit personal information -> Your signature field) [img*]url of that image[/img*]
(note. do not write that *)

EDIT: example

This line would show this image in my signature:

 

Got it, thanks!

Signatures

These rules exist to make viewing the forum as pleasant as possible to all users. Even though you might think signatures with large pictures look cool, some might find them extremely annoying.

1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.

2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.

3. If you use an animated picture in the signature, it should not be too distractive. Eg. blinking images or images with quick movement are not allowed.

4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

5. All the abovementioned rules for forum posts apply also to the signatures.

Violation of these rules does not lead to an immediate ban. However if requested user must edit his or her signature to fit these guidelines.

Administrative actions

Messages that break any of the rules above can be removed or edited by the moderators and administrators of these forums. Even if something isn't specifically mentioned in the rules, it doesn't mean that it would be permitted. It is up to the moderators and administrators to determine what is appropriate and what is not.

Users who willfully violate the forum rules can be banned by the moderators and administrators.

 

Your right, sorry bout that. I forgot to resize the image at photobucket. i'll fix that right now.

 

hmmmmmm.

 

Do i still need to make it smaller? Or is this good?

 

It's still exactly the same, which is WAAAAY too big.

 

Actually, if you knew soooooo muuuch, you would know that the signature changes on your post when you change it on photobucket!
Also, the picture is (225x169 - 8 K), so it easily fits within the limit. It falls within the acceptable limit.

 

i am wondering if this pic is too big?

guess not because its not showing

 

hope it works this time
nope
maybe this time
what im i doing wrong?
this is how i have it written why is it not showing the pic
no thumbnail?

 

you're not linking to the full size pic, which is the one you posted, but to the shrunken thumbnail or mini'ed pic, which the AD servers take time to create. link to the full-size and save yourself.

 

hi Auslander,

this how i have it written in my sig

i.my.afterdawn.com/300bowler/standard/6205 with the http and in the front and /img] in the back

still wont work? do i have write full instead of standard?
im so confused

 

picture location: http://i.my.afterdawn.com/original/6205.JPG
page: http://my.afterdawn.com/300bowler/show_image.cfm/6205/full

don't try to put the page in your siggy. you want the image location in the UBB code, not the page.

 

thanks for the info Auslander,

the pic explains what i have been going thru for the last couple of days , i finally decided to try photobucket and thankfully it worked

thanks again for the help

PS. i should have done the photobucket first but it seems like i have a 100's accounts online to keep track of, oh well looks like a have 101 now LOL
