Okay, so how would a web-challenged individual such as myself go about inserting a picture into my signature?
Enlighten me...

 

Click on "my account" in the Main Menu to your left. Then click on "change your info". Scroll down to your signature area. Here you will insert the URL of the picture surround by [ i m g ] at the beginning and [ /i m g ] at the end, but without the extra spaces.

So a direct URL to your picture might be www.myhomepage/images/sig.jpg, for example. Then you would put [ i m g ]www.myhomepage/images/sig.jpg[ / i m g ] in your signature area. Again, no extra spaces.

Ta da!

And if you edit your post, the sig picture can freak out and not work, like above.

FYI

Ahhh...
So you're saying I need to have a homepage first?

 

ok, I've tried it. I sure hope it's not a huge photo when it gets here.

I need help. When I posted my photo was a large as the whole computer screen so I hit edit and removed it. How do I make it small?

Pour water on it and then dry it reeeal fast.....that should shrink it.

PM me with an e-mail and I'll do it.

OK, I waited the mandatory 1 hour, and now I'm off to accomplish other things tonight, sorry...

Good luck Calvin77 and Austin too! May your signature be with you...soon.

Where is your image hosted? If it's in the member gallery, you can add a .thumb near the end of the image URL.

For example, if it's (and this is just for explanation's sake, so don't quote me on these URLs I use, ok?) https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...is/image27.jpg that you are using, you would then make that https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ge27.thumb.jpg

If it's on another site, you'll need to rehost the image in a smaller size.

It has taken me a few hours and I think I've got my photo up here!
Thank you all for your help!

 

It seems to be coming and going. Sometimes looks like a little box other times has a photo, but that's ok because I can see the photo now!!

yea! I'm computer smart!
I'm a Geek!
