I must be thick!

Ba_barbaraAnne

No matter what I do I can't get an image into my sig. In the newbie/faq the advice is....

First off, read the boards.ie signature image guidelines. In the User CP, go to "Edit Profile" and in the signature you can make use of any available BB codes (but not HTML). To add an image, you'd do:

....

and there's nothing there. I've tried to 'show picture' but still nothing!

What am I doing wrong please?

Gordon

Post the address url of the picture.

Ba_barbaraAnne

i'll try that again, thanks. Might work this time!

Gordon

No I mean post it here right now so that we can be sure that we can see it first of all!

Your image breaks the allowed specifications as set out in the Signature Rules thread above.

For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size. No animated images are allowed.

tis too big....perhaps resize it...

Ba_barbaraAnne

thank you. I didn't realise it was so large. I knew it was me being thick ;-)

Gordon

This should be the correct size for sig rules I think?
maybe a bit small but I had export quibbles. Maybe someone can make a better conversion.

You will need to get this onto the web somehow though - sign up for webspace on boards if you do not have webspace elsewhere.

Just ask if you need help.

I've tried that but when I go to preview sig - it doesn't show a pic!

the url is http://community.webshots.com/photo/217550959/217583825vARheM

That won't work! I think i'll have to give up!

Gordon

Dont give up, it's possible.

try this url
http://image20.webshots.com/20/8/38/25/217583825vARheM_ph.jpg

(dont copy that url from your browser as it has shortened it for space - get the url from right clicking on the properties of the url or the picture below)

test

Pig-headedness is a good thing sometimes! I think i've cracked it (if not I'll just crak up)

thanks everyone for all your help - ye are all brilliant

Gordon
