Quick Guide to Posting Pictures in your Signature

How to post images in your signature
----------------------------------------

First Click on your profile



Now click on Modify Profile



Scroll down the page until you see your signature box (its toward the bottom of the page)

Now you need an image code. I use imgur or tinypics to upload / store pictures I want to use on the forum but there are many image hosts out there you can use. They will also supply an image code for each picture you have stored.
Its important you have the IMG at the beginning and the end and the actual image code in the middle of it, which will look like this:

[img]http://storage.proboards.com/159300/avatar/ZHhs143h6OBjHvB0z2gP.jpg[/img]

And it looks like this:



Hope this guide has helped you!

YAY! you used my campaign Wundies as an example!

[Wordy]

Yes! Wundies forever!

[Walabamba]

Of course! I'm thinking of getting a pair in RL

This might be clarified elsewhere, but is there a size limit for pics you post in your sig?

Not that I would have some massive .jpg in mine, but it would be nice to know.

[indraprast]

nice info.would look to get my nation map here as my signature..

If you're running out of characters to use in your signature, try using TinyPic instead of Photobucket. The urls are quite a bit shorter.

[Anartonia]

Or you could use any image uploader and then run the URL through a URL shortener like Bitly. The images will still show up in your sig.

Question: how do I center my signature as opposed to having it off to the right side like it is?

[Paffnia]

You can try the

tag, but that only centers the image within the signature (e.g. see the first signature on this thread: 10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=xkigen&thread=22224. The image and text are centered within the sig, but the sig itself is off to the right). As far as I know, there is no way to completely center a sig.

[Paffnia]

Also, I use Sqish for short image URL's: sqi.sh/images

[New Palidor]

thanks I may give that a try, or attempt to form a different signature image or banner.

[Anartonia]

If my business, which will deal with signature images, gets approved, you can be one of my first customers

[New Palidor]

I would like that very much, where would I read more about it? I'm also broke so will your signature business be getting its funding from advertising or from the customers?

[Anartonia]

From the customers, but I can make it free as long as you pay me back sometime in the future when you do have enough money

[New Palidor]

I will definitely check it out when you get it up and running--are you going to have some samples of your work?

[Anartonia]

Well, so far, I've only done the image in my signature. See where there is that jumble of what looks like separate images with some text? That's all one picture.

[New Palidor]

It looks great, I was curious how you had done that.

[Anartonia]

In my opinion, Paffnia's is better, but that's because he has more stuff to put in there.

thanks

[Hispanidad]

i did it

[Nibbs]

Thanks!

[diatomea]

Thanks for this tutorial,
s so I'm testing my new signature.

[Wille-Harlia]

It's not working for me.

[Free Las Pinas]

test - well I guess I also don't know how it works, but I don't really need it so it's fine for me

I'd make sure that when you're inserting the image, you're using the image address not the url. If you right click on the image, there should be an option to copy the image address then paste it into your signature. If done right, you'll see the image when you preview your signature.

Actually, I already did that. I even helped someone earlier about using the correct image address. But oh well

It is? Anyway, you were right...I didn't realize that I put in the wrong link. I had to double check, thanks!
