I'm hoping that all of you are not having too much trouble navigating around the forum now that we have made the software upgrade but it is for sure a little different so I wanted to start putting up some of the providers HELP tips and guidelines and add some of my own for the changes I made in their format. Some of this is just simple how to do this links and I can also add things that relate to this forum to help also.
First link:
support.proboards.com/thread/460424/adding-signature-posts
Now I'm going to add to this link how to.
Now you can just put text in your signature as mentioned or a photo and there are two ways to put a photo in your signature. When you are on your personal profile page and want to place a photo in just go to whatever you use to host your photos and when looking for the right link code you will need to use a code like this from photobucket and it's called a IMG code. Photobucket when you ask for a code link gives you 4 choices and use the one at the bottom. It will look like this:
[UR L=http://s499.photobucket.com/user/ jrryan2008/media/Photo-00373.jpg.html]http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/ rr359/jrryan2008/Photo-00373.jpg[/IMG][/UR L]
I put some spaces in this so it wouldn't bring the photo up and remember you always have to "Save Changes" at the bottom to make this work. Now if you want the photo centered you need to add the center brackets this one on the front [ center] and this one at the end [ /center].
There is another way which was the old way on the old forum and that's take a direct url and you must put the code brackets there yourself, example:
[ img] [UR L=http://s499.photobucket.com/user/ jrryan2008/media/Photo-00373.jpg [/ img]
Again I put spaces in this so it would not link to the photo. Again you want it centered? Use the center brackets or it will automatically be on the left. [ center] [/ center]
Some of you may have noticed this image in your or others signature.
It is self explainatory. In the past if someone's signature was too large I either had to reduce it or ask the member to. Here I have a option of using a plugin code to limit the size of the signatures and as you can see the limit here is 150 pixels high. You can have a signature as long as you want provided it fits the page but the height is a maximum of 150px. You will need to size your signature before you put it in your profile and if it is one pixel above 150px you will have this banner come up. I recommend 149px to be safe.
I will move on in the next post on other how to's.
