Signature Things

A few things to help out making a signature

first get a image host. I use photobucket It's free and easy to use.

Now for a simple one image sig, simply in the signature section of your profile page, place
[img]image url[/img]


eg:
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/g162/jack_zero/damon.jpg[/IMG]


would look like this

User Image

photobucket is very good in that they give you the whole image code underneath the preview of your picture so simply copy that and paste into your sig.


Now to have your image turn into a link so that when you click it, you can go to a certain page, then you need something like

[url=url of place to go][img]image url[/img][/url]


eg:
[url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/guilds/index.php?page_mode=4&guild_id=377]
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/g162/jack_zero/faith.jpg[/IMG][/url]


would be this

User Image


Right now on to random sigs.
A random sig is when you have something which everytime you refresha page a new image appears. Personally I use Cut an Paste Scripts, but there are many others.

List of other Random Sig places

Anyway when you sign up, you can upload a number of images to that service, which in return will give you a html code to put in your sig, which looks something like
Random Images
This thing doesn't get along too well with gaia, so instead you just take a part of that

all you need is the part after src=" ie for the above http://www.cutandpastescripts.com/cgi-bin/randomimages/randomimages.pl?username=demonpez

and place that in the image brackets like
so.
[img]http://www.cutandpastescripts.com/cgi-bin/randomimages/randomimages.pl?username=demonpez[/img]


thus giving you User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

you can combine that with the link method as described above.

Pez, I'm confused (that happens a lot sweatdrop ). So, let's say I want to use a randomizer for my sig, but I also want each picture to link to a guild. Is that possible? I recently had to make my sig smaller because I was going over the limit, but I want to advertise the guilds I'm in and give them all equal time. Thanks for helping.

I don't think that's possible, lisa. What you could do is find a shop* that could make you an image map, which would be one large image with several links within it, or maybe get some smaller banners for each guild. I don't know just how many guilds you wish to promote but if it's only a few you could probably fit them in your sig by using smaller links. You can make smaller links by going here:

Oh, sorry, I know that was a question for Pez. Hope you don't mind my intruding. sweatdrop

*-or make one yourself if you like smile

yeah like Budd said I don't think it's possible to have each image link to a seperate location, not that I know of anyway.

Thanks, Budd and Pez. And Budd, that was helpful and not an intrusion at all. I appreciate all the responses I can get.
