Default How-to: Signatures

HOW-TO: Signatures.
For Windows Users.




First, the image you want to use for your signature must be resized to 250x500px. Use MS paint, a photoshop program, Paint.NET, Windows photo editor, or an online program such as photobucket to resize the pics.

Access the Edit Signature page by clicking "Quick Links" and the click "Edit Signature" in the flip-down bar.

Name:  Howto.jpg
Views: 196
Size:  71.0 KB












You will then see the Edit Signature page.
Scroll down and click "Browse" to upload a pic from your computer. OR you may enter an image URL with IMG tags around it in the large text box and bypass all but the last step of this how-to.

Locate the image in your computer where you saved it.
click it, then click "Open" or "Select", depending on your OS.



Name:  Howto2.jpg
Views: 100
Size:  55.6 KB












You'll now see the image location posted in the bar.
Click "Upload".

Wait for the image to upload. This may take several moments.
When it is uploaded you will see the image. Click "Insert Signature Picture"



Name:  Howto4.jpg
Views: 80
Size:  53.8 KB














You will then see the [sigpic][/sigpic] code in the text field.
Leave it as is. Do not alter the code or it will be corrupt.

You may want to add text to your signature. You can do that now, but remember to let the [sigpic] code have a line to itself.

That is truly interesting. In that case, try just typing in [sigpic][/sigpic] where you want it to appear in the text.
It may have something to do with size constraints, but I'm not entirely sure.
