    Signature images

    I did a search and couldn't find anything that answered my question, I hope I'm not repeating myself, sorry if I am.

    How do I add an image to my signature?

    I did it so long ago I'm not sure, but I think you use HTML.  So first you upload the photo to a server (like Photobucket.com - free & easy to use) and then insert the code that they give you into your signature, so it'll look like:

    <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/franspix/okpsigpic.jpg">

    Thank you, it worked! I won't keep it up long because it's large, but my husband came up with a cute GBS parody.

    That's hilarious, Fran!  I had a bir of a miserable day at work and snuck in here this afternoon and saw that.  Couldn't comment at the time because logging in would be a big no-no... but it made me laugh when I needed it!  If I retain the J. Duncan attribution, is it allright if I keep a copy of it?

    No problem, he's doing it to amuse us (I think he feels left out because lately I've been spending so much time with you guys). He got the idea from the PEI "Cows" type parody shirts.

    Bumping this rather than e-mailing the team, as my query isn't urgent.  I just fancied a change!

     I can't seem to change my sig in my account.  I'm trying to insert an image, but get the following message:

     
    "We are experiencing technical difficulties(500)

    Please note that you may experience this page during peak pre-sale time due to the volume of customers visiting the site. Please WAIT 30 seconds before you try again, or click the Back button in your browser window to return to the previous page. we apologize for any inconvenience."

     This has been happening for about a week, at different times of day, and I've tried to use both Firefox and IE in case one of them screws up the code.

     Anyone else had this problem, and knows the fix?  I'm using ye standard IMG SRC tag - I'm familiar with coding HTML by hand - and it's an image uploaded to my webspace. In fact, here it is:

    Teddy, I was having the exact same issue and it was driving me insane because I was following the exact instructions that people had posted on here.  I had my sig image uploaded to flickr and even thought that maybe the messageboard couldn't recognize it, and opened up a photobucket account.  Following the same IMG SRC tage with that didn't do anything.

    Finally, out of desperation, on the photobucket image page, I decided to try and copy the "IMG Code" for the photo ([IMG]http.....[IMG]) and it worked!  I have no idea why it would recognize that and not what other people were saying to code it as, but it did.  I know very little about HTML coding, so I'm totally in the dark.

    Anyway, that's how I finally got mine to work, hope this helps!  I at least hope that my ramblings made sense, LOL!Angel

    Very cute smilies, BTW!Big Smile


    But for just one night
    Wouldn't it be great, if the band just never ended?

    Re: Signature images

    AH!  It took it!  i hope.....

     It's UBB coding, not standard HTML!   To you that's gibberish, but to me it makes perfect sense. Different language, freaks out the script that runs the board (the gnome in the camera) when it hears it!

     
    Thanks very much for your help, hopefully I am now all smilied up Big Smile
     

    BTW, I can't tell you how much it bothered me to cut Darrell out of my original pic!

    Re: Signature images

    I'm not sure it was just a case of you not using the right coding. I had that error message a few times doing different things. I panicked the first time thinking I was missing a pre-sale I didn't know about. I had no problem putting my original avatar up but when I changed it to a second one and again to a 3rd one I had that message. Eventually I just stopped getting the message and my avatar changed.

    Re: Signature images

    Looks like you got it to work, Teddy...which is good because I'm fairly certain I'd have been of no help.

    BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I do have to say this.  The gbs.com team totally needs to look into adding your smilies to our list of smiley options! 

    I mean c'mon...who wants a plain old Smile when you could have an Alan, Sean, or Bob smiley bouncing around in your post??!?  Big Smile


    January 20th, 2009...the end of an error
