OK, going through editing my sig through the sig-o-matic tool and I get these instructions. Sounds simple enough.....

1. Click on the image you want to use for your signature and will be taken to the User CP->Edit Signature screen.
2. Click on Insert Signature Picture to place the graphic in your signature block
3. Click Save Signature

However, I do not see Insert Signature Picture anywhere. Is it something to do with these permissions:

Allow Basic BBCode Yes
Allow Color BBCode Yes
Allow Size BBCode No
Allow Font BBCode No

Allow Alignment BBCode Yes
Allow List BBCode Yes
Allow Link BBCode Yes
Allow Code BBCode No

Allow PHP BBCode No
Allow HTML BBCode No
Allow Quote BBCode Yes
Allow HTML No

Allow Smilies No
Allow [IMG] Code Yes
Can Upload Images for Signature No
Can Upload Animated GIF for Signature No


I do see where I can insert an image via something that is already on the web somewhere, but i am pretty sure that is not the tool to use...


thanks in advance for the help.

I also tried and found no Insert Signature Picture.

So now my siggie is invalid.

 

I missed some permission settings for vendor accounts. This should be resolved now. When you use Sig-o-Matic and click on one of the processed images to use you should be taken to the following screen showing the graphic you selected. Just click on the "Insert Signature Picture" and you will see (depending on which editor you are using) the image inserted in the signature area or the tags [sigpic][/sigpic]. At this point just click Save Signature and you are done.

 

I fixed this for you. You should see the option to Insert Signature Picture (see the screen grab I provided above) so you can change it if you would like. That said you updated signature graphic has been inserted using the new method.

Thanks

Mark

 

The Insert option is still not there, via Firefox or Safari on my Mac.

Edit - Fixed!

 

With hornguys assistance I learned that if you have Basic Editor selected in the Message Editor Interface section of User CP->Edit Options you won't see this option. When you are viewing the edit signature page you will see the graphic in the signature image area. Just above it enter [sigpic][/sigpic] in the text area and save your signature. Alternatively switch to the Standar or Enhanced editor to see the Insert Signature Image link.

 

After clicking on the processed image of my choice, the next screen says:
"Invalid File"

 

make sure you do not have spaces in the original file name...in other words, make the file name web friendly.

GMG

 

It is web friendly... No spaces, using advanced editor for messages... Still get the invalid file remark.

 

Correction: Make it PC/Windows friendly.

 

Would be nice if there was a warning indicating all text already in your sig would be deleted upon using sig-o-matic.

 

Do I assume I have to upload my sig to the gallery to make this work?

 

No. You no longer will need to host your signature file either in the gallery or elsewhere. It will be uploaded to our server and included in your signature.

 

I'll look into this. Since I always use graphics I hadn't noticed this in my testing. I'll post an update once I can determine how to prevent this.

Rudy helped me find a bug in the file naming when you used a URL to upload your image. Should be fixed and working now. Thanks!

Mark

 

All I know is that I don't understand one iota of anything you are saying we may or may not have to do to our signature. I think I will take the cowards way out and just wait till the date is up and find out what is left of my signature.

 

Right now it appears that you are using several graphics in your signature. With the change you'll need to have just one graphic. When the [IMG] tags support is removed there won't be anything in your signature (as it currently stands) until you provide text and/or a signature graphic.

Mark

 

Thanks for explaining. So I just got rid of everything and maybe sometime I can figure out how to put something there.

 

When 'Allow [IMG] Code' is set to 'No' aren't existing IMG tags treated as URL tags, making images appear as links?

 

Just curious, will this effect our ability to insert images into posts?

 

No. It will have no impact on the images in posts, just signatures.

 

yeah! I didn't wanna go into smilie withdrawal

 

Mark/Dave, is my signature going to become invalid as it stands? I'm just not savy enough to be able to even follow what you're asking us to do

 

I was using [imgleft], which allowed me to have three or four lines of text next to the image, starting at the top of the image. [SIGPIC] starts the first line of the text even with the bottom of the image. Are there variations of [SIGPIC] to control the placement of the image, and the flowing of text around it?

 

Oh God they have invented a new language!
