Signature - need help

[andr6192]

im kinda a noob to these forums and i would like alittle help regarding sigs, as you see i allready got a sig and an avatar but i see ppl having two pics in their sig - can i get that too or do i need higher rep power? and also i wanted to know if i can make the pic in my sig alittle bigger or is it just is it is?

you have to host the picture elsewhere and then link it here with the image tags - if you use the upload portion from the signature set up area then it'll resize it to something very small for some reason - so you're better off using the GF Image host OR your album and using the image link from there

ok ill try that out :) cya for it

btw its not illegal on the forum to have "screwed" in your sig is it?

[LiNuX]

no but it is frowned upon if you double post when you really don't have to.

sry :P trying to upload from my album now with URL but it keeps saying invalid file...

[LiNuX]

upload from your album?

do you mind telling me the steps you're taking form the very beginning, i may be able to spot where you're going wrong.

sure - first i tried to simply right click on the image from the website i got it from and say "copy image location" and copy it into the URL spot, but ofc it said the file were too big, so i saved the image on my mac and made it smaller in size and pixels, it worked but as i tried to post in a second pic it simply overwrote the old pic and i thought "what the heck" and only posted one small pic - then i asked for help here and after you replied i went to the tab "GF image host" in the top of the screen, uploaded some pics and tried to use the URL in the edit sig place but it said "Invalid File" no matter what link i took, so i went to the user CP and made an album, it looked more like it chould help as there was a section about "profile style images" or something i took that uploaded some pics and tried link the URL again but it said "invalid file" again and here i am

cool now my sig changed... what did you do?

[LiNuX]

are you using the html code or bb code? always use the bb code

and i changed one for you with no problem but you should resize the height - max 200pixels allowed - that one is violating by 40pixels.

look at your signature and see how i put it up.

ok i got it now, thx alot thought you needed to use the upload custom pic thingy

once again thx alot for the help

[LiNuX]

no problem - don't forget to resize your pictures to bring them to our standards - max 500x200 px
