INot to fancy like King but just learning and seeing what I can do. 1st day tons of stuff you can create with that program...I'm still a baby with it, but it's fun learning and messing around.

Yeah I had the URL messed up, it's a Wisconsin thing that were working on to get locals together.

I know mine are siimple now, but I'll keep playing around and try to learn some new stuff. I wanted to do this for a long time, but my boy took some time to tutor me the other day.

Vida will make any frame look http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/yumyum.gif

1. Copy it to your harddrive, then upload it somewhere and link to it externally within your signature UBB code.

2. Should have posted the pic of your bike before I went through the effort. It's not that I can't do it, it's just well, a bunch of freaking work to do all over again. Takes about an hour to remove the background from the bike shot.

Thanx again we'll leave it as that but you say upload it somewhere, like where and how, I have some free web space so should i post the pic there and somehow link it to the signature box. Í'm learning all this stuff as I go here so your help is greatly appreciated! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

Dangeruss
10-30-2004, 02:02 PM
Yeah, upload it to your webspace.

Then go to your profile (there's a "My Home" link at the top of the Gixxer.com pages)

On your profile page edit your signature to include this HTML tag:
http://www.url_to_image.com/image_name.jpg
Substituting the actual URL and image name you require.
*** I've intentionally misspelled "image" in the tags so it would display instead of being an actual image tag.

That's it. I don't have a sig image, since I turn off the sig and avatar images in my site display controls for faster browsing.

Damgerous I like how you use those lines across your images. I'm stil not up on that yet. Give a brotha some tips.

I'm using Photoshop 7.0, I got it from my boy for free. I have some links (if anyone wants them) to help get started. I need to read them too.

Here's one http://www.photoshopjunkie.com/tutorials/

Here's a few more that I did today, smoe banners for our forums. Still trying to get some new ideas and techniques.

Photoshop makes my sig look like shit in comparison. Mine is just microsoft paint. Not bad for paint I guess.

Free webspace, I think I used photobucket.com, or something like that. I logged onto it just long enough to set up my pic there.

That's it i'm done trying to figure this out, it's all pretty much greek to me I'll have this awesome sig saved on my hard drive forever unless you can explain it in dummy terms for me to understand. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Ok dude here it goes...

1) Once youve logged in click (1) were Ive indicated, It will take you to the screen shot shown.

2) Once your at that screen click where the number 2 is pointing

3) It will take you to the next screen shot and on that screen you will see where the box (#3) is located. Paste the URL where you have the image uploaded to, using the image tags before and after the URL. Hit submit at the bottom and your done.

Caper are you sure your pic is hosted?

Just right click the pic, get the propertires and put that URL N to the sig box with the image tags around it.

Maybe go to the test area and test away. Do just like Easy said and you'll be good. Once you figure it out you'll slap yourself it's that easy.

I have all the parts I made it from, I'll just make a new file of the proper size, fill a gradient, and drop them in. No big deal. I also have to get it hosted somewhere else, the school's webhosting gives people error messages prompting for a password. Seems that's the real reason it got killed.

I checked and my pic isn't even hosted my free webspace has exceeded its allowable bandwith so I have to wait another 3 weeks for it to be cleared so unless someone hosts it for me i'll get the sig put up then! Thanx for your help guys. I know this is all pretty simple but i'm a man of very little patience and like stuff done right now!
