Mmmmmmmmkay, I notice a lot of poeple messaging me havin trouble with sigs and what not, so I thought I'd just whack up a quick easy tutorial on how they work and what you need to do to get them to show up.

Your Signiture box is located in your User Control pannel (User CP) in the top menu bar of the site. Once in there, click on Edit Profile. This will bring you into your custom profile section where you can change, personal info like your occupation, biography, location, interests and other such things. Within that page, around the middle, you will find a section entitled SIGNITURE:. and to the right of that section there will be a light grey box where you can type in your signiture. Now, if you are wanting to use a picture of some sort as I, and a few others do, it HAS to be uploaded somewhere on the internet as a .jpg file, so you can link to it. For example

http://www.my_internet_site.com/my_signitures/my_sig.jpg.

Now, once you have your picture uploaded somewhere, you can use the VB code to link to it and use as a signiture. This is done by using these codes either end of the address "[ img]and [ /img] . You write then your pictures address with NO space between the and the start of the address, then write at the end of the address, also with NO spaces between the address and the . The 's tell the website that the address links to a picture and it should display it as one, and not just the address writting that you have put in. So i think that just about covers it people. So in short

1) have a direct address to a .jpg picture.
2) use [img] infront and behind the address
3) If ya didn't undserstand ANYTHING that i just said, then give the actual "VB Codes Explained Site a look overHERE (http://www.fmxaustralia.com/forum/misc.php?s=&action=bbcode#imgcode)

:cool:

Another good job by Mungo.

A good place to upload pictures is www.photobucket.com

It's free to register, and it takes 1 minute. One you have uploaded your sig you are going to use, it already shows you the link for the URL, TAG, IMG. All you need to do is copy and paste the IMG link.:)

Address is correct. You are missing the image tags infront and behind the address. I suggest changing that picture though, as it is too large to be a signiture. Keep in mind sigs load for everyone atleast once a page, so make them as small as you can. If nothing else make them wider rather than higher. Nothing bigger than 800 pixels though. :).

While this threads been brought up, I'll just take the time to tell the people who are hosting their sigs through my account, that arn't actually working at the moment, sorry for the inconvenience, but the actual site is down, so there's nothing i can do about it, apart from play the waiting game, which sucks, so now I'm playing hungry hungry hippo's :p
