Hello, I was wondering if we are allowed to have images in our signatures. :?:
Thanks.
The forums look great by the way. |

Having one image in your signature is allowed, but I'm not sure about the size limit though. |

Yey. I've never been a big fan of doing that, but some pictures look great. |

The size limit for images in signatures is 1 image that is max 100 pixels high and 500 pixels wide. |

It seems the image tags don't work, I tried to put a picture in one of the posts for my guild and it showed the [img][/img] tags with the URL. So I don't know, could someone just do one quick for future reference? Thanks! ^_^ |

That's what you use to post images. I haven't tried it in the sig area, but it should work. _________________

You're image size is 399x87, Kuwaizair. You qualify just fine for the picture size. :) _________________

blaaaah mines just a little bit bigger than 100 pixels high, and it's less than 500 pixels wide, if it's just a litttttle compisated does it make that much of a difference? _________________

First, you'll need to save the picture to your hard drive, Sesshomaru. The place doesn't matter, but it should be someplace where you can find it relatively quickly.
After that, you'll need to upload the picture to a server. You have several options available here. Some ISPs give free space to their users to store images, web pages, etc. Your ISP may or may not do this, and if they do, they may or may not allow direct linking. This varies from ISP to ISP. There are free web hosts available that will act as a server for you. However, most free web hosts do not allow you to hotlink (aka direct link) pictures, because this takes up a ton of bandwidth for them. Instead, there are free servers specifically built for image storange. Two of the more popular around are Photobucket and ImageShack. I personally perfer ImageShack, since you don't have to make an account to upload anything. Either site will give you a URL for your picture. Copy that.
After that, you'll need to go to this forum and click the link that says "profile" in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Scroll down until you see either "Signature" (the picture shows up after your posts) or "Avatar" (the picture shows up along the side of your posts). The way to imput images for each catagory is a bit different.
For signatures, type in [img], then your URL, then [/img]. For example:
[img]http://www.host.com/picture.jpg[/img]
For avatars, just look for the phrase "Link to off-site Avatar:" and type or paste in the location of the image you wish to use. For example:
http://www.host.com/picture.jpg _________________

As for those who want some sig just pm me.
I would gladly help you with that limited ability o'mine.
The sample for my work is my own sig below, and tou can find some too in the forum.
For those who wanted to use the image i had posted in the forum (by the name 'banner anyone?' and 'banner again') just use it, and no need to confirm that to me. _________________

Yes, becuase if we let you signature go over 100 pixels, then people will start to take advantage, and the limits will get bigger and bigger. If you want, just shrink the image so that it is exactly 100 pixels. _________________
