@TheHulk: Click the "Profile" button listed 1st right beneath "Forums" & next 2 "Private Massages". Not "Your Account".

That clears that up, thanx Rayne... TheHulk, when you click on Your Account, how does the first window that appears look?

TheHulk · Post by **TheHulk** » 15 Jan 2005, 19:39

Ok, I see now, sorry, forgot about that page.
Well all info very the same, so what's wrong still?

Try this:

Try this: Take the URL of your Avatar and use it in your sig... (Obviously add [img])... See if that image shows... If it does, take this URL (http://img152.exs.cx/img152/4448/hulk56jn4sf.jpg) and paste it in between the [img:********] code... See if this works...

Futs, you still here? You got MSNM right? Maybe we can instant msg to try this method as well then we don't need to post everytime...

TheHulk · Post by **TheHulk** » 15 Jan 2005, 19:54

Tried the url, O-T-C but still no joy.
Nope not on MSNM.

Off-The-Chart · Post by **Off-The-Chart** » 15 Jan 2005, 19:56

But did it work with the image from your avatar?

TheHulk · Post by **TheHulk** » 15 Jan 2005, 19:58

Nope, no joy either.

Off-The-Chart · Post by **Off-The-Chart** » 15 Jan 2005, 20:29

TheHulk, I'm finished.... What exactly did I do????

TheHulk · Post by **TheHulk** » 15 Jan 2005, 20:36

Thanks O-T-C, your a STAR.

I see what you did, and funny I was tempted to do the same, but because everyone said we must use the normal url format I did not use the other url formats the image sites provide.
Very funny indeed????

Maybe just let Futs know what you did, ok.

Thanks again.

Hi Guys, I am glad that you seemed to have come right! If you open 'Forums' and open any thread, ou will find an announcement that reads 'Posting Guidelines" I have copied it for you!

Posting Guidelines

1. Please read the Forum Rules BEFORE making your first post.

2. Use common sense. This is a place where normal people have gathered to communicate with each other in a sensible way. Most people don't like excessive language, rudeness and so on.

3. Remember those with slow connections. Some users are still using a 56K internet connection, if there are large images posted in the forum it will take them some time to view the page. Please have consideration when posting large images and having large images as signatures.

4. Avatar limitations. Avatars have been limited to a maximum size of 160x120 (pixels) and a file size limit of 16kb. They can be selected from the pre-loaded gallery or uploaded to this site.

How do I show my Avatar?
Once you have logged in select the Profile link near the top of the screen. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see the avatar options.

Upload avatar from your machine:
This option allows you to upload an image that is currently saved on your PC. Select Browse to browse your PC for the mentioned picture. Once you have found your picture on your PC, select it and hit the Open button. If your picture does not meet the requirements you will get an error message stating so. Look at point no. 4 to see the requirements.

Upload avatar from a URL:
This option allows you to upload an image from another website. To see the URL of an image, right-click on the image and select properties. Put that URL address in to the text box next to this option and the image will be uploaded.

Select Avatar from the Gallery:
This option will allow you to select an avatar from a pre-loaded gallery with a wide selection of images available. Select Show Gallery to open the gallery. Select the image you want to use scroll to the bottom of the page and hit Select avatar.

How do I insert a picture in my signature?
In order to insert a picture in your signature you will have to have the image hosted on another server somewhere on the net. There are a few websites that offer free hosting. Upload your required picture to the relevant web space and get the URL of the image. In the Signature option under your profile you will have to use BBCode to insert the picture.

In the text box type:
Code:

The URL provided must be changed to the URL of your image.

Maximum signature specs
Size: 450x120 (pixels)

Once finished with your signature, scroll down and select Submit. You now have a picture in your signature. Remember to make sure that your picture isn't too large as it will slow down the loading of the page for people with slower internet connections

Rayne, why dont you make your sig and avvie a bit diffrent from eachother? This is actually a question for everyone who do the same.

Rayne · Post by **Rayne** » 26 Jan 2005, 19:40

Thanx guys I tried making a living (animated) sig but the size is huge. So this will have 2 do for a week or so... This is something I picked up earlier, DarkRayne, made by 1 of the chaps over @ Terminal Reality, an official developer of the game.

Sorry jee... The other 1 was boring anyways, it was time for an upgrade. You should'nt have been fooled by her looks, she's a tramp... As soon as I learn how 2 make animations I'll show her completing the kill.
