I see all of these people with images in their sig.... (and so do you) So I was wondering how they do that !!!!!

Heres my real question.. How can I add an image to my sig without using the url website thing? I.e. i cant upload an image from the net because its not there and I cant put it there kuz i have not the knowledge of such said skillz and have yet to attain the power and privaledge to post images on any such webpage... (I sound like the architect or the oricle or something ((from THEN MATRIX (((DUH))) )

My . . . eyes. . . ungh.

To answer your question, you'll need to host the signature image somewhere. Try getting an angelfire site, or use Neo's upload thinga-majigger (if he's still doing that). Then just link to them. You will not be able to upload the signature image onto Warboards, and host it from Warboards itself, sorry :p. You will have to use a URL.

Here is Neo's site. It's pretty good for things under 100k.

www.kupatrix.com

Go upload sig, although you can use it for some other things too.

Just to offer another image hosting option, yoxio.com

Ok, not to be mean, but if you're going to say something all spaced out, and then type it out again so you can actually read it, what's the point of typing it spaced out in the first place? Not to be rude, but it takes up space. Anyways, the question. They have already answered it, but to clarify it, Warboards hasn't enable attatchments, and even if they had, they wouldn't allow hosting from here. If they did, their bandwidth would be eaten alive. This way, it keeps it clean, and smooth running. www.sig-x.com is where I host mine. It's quite good for my image, and I have yet to run out of bandwidth. Very nice indeed.

I use yoxio, and to be honest, it's a really good service. I haven't tried out Sig-x before, but I think it has a bandwith limit? And that sorta sucks (Yoxio has no bandwidth limit, just a 1mb space limit).

And if you were wondering what we make them in: I use Photoshop, and I think most others do, weeeee.

I tried using yoxio, but when I use the [img] code, all i get is a link for the picture, I can't just have the .jpg show up on the forum, is their site designed like that?

Argh!

That was because normally VB and other forums don't allow dynamic images (i.e. images with php codes, that don't end in ".jpg" or ".gif" or whatnot). But now that it's fixed, it works on this forum (my sig is off of yoxio, same as Hammocksleeper and some others). And their site is designed to use php for the sigs so they can get statistics and such (like how many times each image has been viewed).

But if you read over some threads in their forum, it explains the problem that you are talking about and how to solve it.

I think AJ and a few others can use warboards to host their images.

I think AJ and a few others can use warboards to host their images.
Only because they have FTP access to the Warboards server. I doubt they'll let the general populace do that, it would suck too much bandwidth.

[Battlecruiser]

yeah I know. I was just saying. Anyway anyone who needs a host can go to kupatrix. It works well.
