Signature Tip

If you set-up your signature before posting you don't see this helpful info:


So called UBB codes have been implemented only partially. Supported tags (and their syntaxes as we support them) are here:

[bold]Text here[/bold] -- The text will appear in bold.
Text here -- The text will appear in italics.
-- This will show a picture.

-- This text will show as quoted.

The system will automatically highlight URLs. All valid URLs starting with http:// will be shown as links.

hmmm..Push Any Key To Start........Where's the Any Key?

 

If you set-up your signature before posting like I did you won't see this helpful tag info, I also hope the picture Tips can help someone:

UBB codes have been implemented only partially. Supported tags are here:

[ bold ]Text here[ /bold ] -- The text will appear in bold.
[ i ]Text here[ /i ] -- The text will appear in italics.
[ img ]http://www.the url.com/picture.jpg[ /im g] -- This will show a picture.
[ quote ]Text here[ /quote ] -- This text will show as quoted.

[bold]TIP 1:[/bold]
A picture can be added to your signature using the [ img ] tag.

Example- [*img*]Type or paste the site address your picture loads from here[*/img*]

You'll need to delete the * astrics * or in other words no spaces for the tags to work, they're used here just so can see the tags, normally they're hidden.

[bold]TIP 2:[/bold]
You can find pictures on various forums and sites that are just right for your intended use, once you find a picture the URL address can be found by right clicking
over it and left clicking on properties simply copy and paste from there.

Beware: the size of you picture could anger the Webmaster (if any one knows the max allowed please tell)

Attention: Copy Right may apply I'm not a lawyer so don't ask me. I personally wouldn't use a picture from the same forum I'm a member, and if there was a problem I would simply apologize and not use it any more.

IM confused now. Are you explaining hopw to use a signature on afterdawn? It tells you how to put images into it...

 

Hello Oriphus

When I entered my info to set-up my account it only told me I couldn't use any HTML tags there, it did not give me the UBB codes or instrutions on inserting pictures. I want to help any fellow newbies that might be a little lost at first like I was. hopefully they'll do a search like I did, and will find this info helpful.

[bold]...Where is that any key![/bold]

 

oh and to be realy honest I also needed to test my signature and I just thought I might help someone in the process.
