How do i get a picture or animation under my posts ??

It's really kind of a newbie thing to have graphics but here is how:

You need to have a site host some space for you (usually this means having a website but posting the graphic is not nessisary) Once you have some space set aside, you create and store the grahic file...and then write this:

 

[ img ] [ / img ]

 

Where the pathway in between the image tags is the path to your web space and graphic and VOILA

(Graphic removed by owner)

 

(He's got the idea, now)

 

You have a graphic ...sigh...the memories this thing brings back

 

Oh...you need to create an animated gif file to get animation...all that is done in here is calling the file.

 

 

By the way, when I tuned into this page, this posting was about "6-deep" on the page WITHOUT ANY REPLY). C'mon, you all know how to do it, and none of you could pull yourselves out of your mini-dramas to help this poster with his question. (you hapless pack of prima-donnas) ...for shame!

If it had been possible, I would have interrupted, but let me just try anyway:

*ahem*

A "newbie", does not, in general, mean someone who is new to a forum, it rather means, someone who doesn't know the ways of the forum. Some people are never newbies, some always are.

raven_image, is an example of one of those who were never a newbie, because he never went around talking

-HI IM NEW TOO THI FORUM CAN YO HELPF ME I'M STUCK ON

GATE IN TE SVAMP IN LRUCC ILSAND AND I NEED HELP OK THANX BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

 

And not all 3HMs have sigs. Far from it. Personally I don't agree with either of you:

A sig has nothing to do with one's status on a forum. It's merely a tool people use because they

1) Like it.

2) Want people to quickly recognize that it's their post.

3) Don't want to be worse than others.

And quite oftenly a mix between those points.

Hope this clears up something.

OK, well you need an image (usually a gif or jpg) and it needs to be uploaded to a server that allows external html linking. Geocities doesn't work, angelfire is fickle (sometimes it works, and other times it doesn't) so the best server to use is homestead, which if you don't have a website you can upload the image to, I'm perfectly happy to do that for you, if you want you can email your sig to me at nattydevil@optushome.com.au

 

See aren't I being a bytch to a newbie Frenchy? I wonder how many people's sigs I've actually uploaded and how many of them are or were newbies at the time I uploaded them, does anyone have any idea?
