Pics or animations in my signature

How do I put animations or pictures in my signature space. I dont know how and was wondering if someone could help. Thanks.

Once you find the .gif or .jpg picture you want to put below....
You click on control panel
click the edit profile
scroll down to very bottom where it says signature
use the codes external image at end of addy/address.


To find information on addy/address of your .gif or .jpg image, just right click on it, select properties and look at the address for the image.

you know, I did exactly that and it's not working. it's making me mightily cranky, too. I know the image is there...if you copy and paste the URL into a browser, it pops up. (spiffy too...it dynamically updates to show what I'm listening to. pointless, but cool.) maybe the image is too large. hmm.

If I am not mistaken, for which a Mod will correct me, you can have up to 24,000 bytes total in your sig.

The dimensions I am not sure of though MC.

I'm glad you got yours up and running, Jetsetter now let's see if someone has the answers to mine maybe something that updates dynamically needs refreshing too quickly for a signature? although if that was the case, it probably would show up at least sporadically...hmm..

Can you describe what you want to put down there. It looks like it may have sound.

I still dont know how to get my avatar up, lathwood does not work anymore, so im stuck with nothing.

MC, I had the same problem with my new one that I currently have. You remember the three I had in my sig? Well, I removed two and put my current one in along with the female bent over touching her toes....oh, I love female art...
None-the-less, it worked.
Well, my new one didn't look to goos with the smaller female one so I removed the smaller .gif info and hit edit.
Went to check how it looked and BAM....my sig. was gone but showed just like your is doing.
I went back in and literally removed every bit of info out of my sig. hit the edit button.....waited a minute and went back and added my current sig. info in and it worked fine since.

What I am eluding too, in all my yabbering, is that you may need to remove everything from your sig and then re-do it.
Not sure it will work but it worked for me. Might have been luck...*shrug*

Deep,

All you have to do is get you picture, click to the right and go to properties and copy the adress on your profile, and then press edit profile. Wah La you have you picture

P.S. it can't be to big or it wont download

thanx to ^
I got my picture

Seekerof, thanks for the tip, but it doesn't seem to be working.
and jetsetter, it's a little image that dynamically updates to show what I'm playing on my computer's MP3 player. it doesn't have sound or anything, though.

Can we use pictures of singers or is that not allowed because of copyright?

There is no longer a need for lathwood as William has provided us with an upload feature for our avatars.

Click on "upload" near the top of the page and it will open a small window for you where you can browse your files and upload an image to the ATS server.

Then put in your avatar box,

The filename will be something like ats###_filename
The .ext will be either .jpg, .gif, .txt, or .pdf

I hope this clears that up for you. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to ask.

maynards, I'm not aware of not being allowed to use certain pics for your avatar but if you're not sure I would u2u Bob88 or William.

Mornington, what is the extension of your url?

it doesn't have one, and that's the problem, I've decided. it's a dynamic image, so the exact filename changes every time I change the song I'm playing. oh well.

The link in this post isn't working. Can someone tell me the code/s I need to use to add a pic or animation to my signature? Thanks.

you need an image link which starts with [ IMG] (without the space after the [) and ends with [ /IMG] (again without the space after the [)
like: [ IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e188/orange-light/signatures/sig-57.jpg[ /IMG]

put it into your signature and voila!

Thank you very much. I'll give it a try.
