Can I please get some help with my signature. I know this is posted in the wrong forum, but I'm not getting any response from the proper forum. I want this photo to be in my sig. Props goes out to tonywenzel for making it for me!!

 

Hey,
I'm not a site admin or moderator, but here's the deal with pics in signatures....You can't upload your picture for storage on the my350z.com server. The image has to be stored on another server somewhere on the internet, and then you include an "image tag" in your signature. When a page displays that contains your signature, the users browser will go to the location specified in the image tag and retrieve/display it on the page. There are lots of place on the internet that offer web services like this.

Here's an example:

The following text (minus the *):

[*IMG]http://cobean.homelinux.com:8080/images/z.jpeg[*/IMG]

Displays the following picture in your browser


Note that the location of the picture isn't on the my350z.com server? That's what you have to do with signatures because my350z.com doesn't store custom signature pictures. It would take up far too much space.

Let me know if you have questions.

 

I appreciate your help kcobean, I finally got it to work. Now I need some Excedrin!!

 

Funny, I read your post when it said "if I can't get some help from the admins, I just won't have a signature." I clicked "reply" to respond, and the quoted section of the message was as shown above. I was like "What the heck!?!?" I guess I got you right in the middle of an edit!

Anyway, glad you got it working. Angelfire is a good bet.

 

I spoke too soon. It worked for one post and now it's ****ed up!!

 

Don't use Angelfire as your posting site then...they are quite unreliable.

Here use this site

The site I use to host my sig and any larger pictures is www.imageshack.us Very user friendly.
