custom signatures

[AggonyArcher]

can one use custom signatures here?

[AggonyArcher]

Any suggestions why this one wont work here?

[jayrock]

probrably because of bandwidth, they don't allow pictures in yur sig.

[Gregoshi]

Archer, you should be able to do what you are trying to do. I don't think you are using the iB codes correctly.

Create a new post and play with the iB codes (help card available under the text window). Do a preview and check the results. Once you have it looking like you want, copy the text and codes in the text window and go to your member profile and signature box, then paste it in there. Don't forget to not submit the post you made to play with. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

BTW, if you are more comfortable with html, there is an iB code for that. I don't know if we have html enabled on these boards, but it could be worth a try.

Grrrrr. I'm going to have to look at someone else's sig to see how they did this. I hope you don't mind my playing with your sig code.

basicaly it looks like this

***[IMG]http://www.yoursite/whatever.gif{/IMG]***


don't know if that'll help, his looks alot more complicated.

[Gregoshi]

That is the easy part. He's trying to make the image a link as well. The URL and IMG iB codes don't play well together from what I see.

aye currumba, that's way beyond me, cripes it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to put in my sig.. sorry but can't hekp with that.


if he can't do that, why not make a separate pic, and then a seperate link, not the desired effect,but simpler.

[Lord Romulous]

ask someone from kenchi clan. their sig is a pic and a link in one. so they must know how.

[Lechev]

So am I, hehehehe now I hada cool sig with my clan's coat of arms. Yes

[AggonyArcher]

Gah it still doesnt work.

U can have fun with my code I dont mind. But its a reference to a web address

[Shadedredd]

I think Flamingtext.com won´t accept direct IB code. You will have to copy the image to your Harddisk, then transfer it to a web hosting site. (geocities..Fortunecity.. etc) then use the command with the address to your web hosting site in between...


Like this:

http://members.fortunecity.com/hillychaos/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/Mytext.gif

(change the < > for [ ] and I would get this) :

http://members.fortunecity.com/hillychaos/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/Mytext.gif

The link to flaming text is also automatically placed in the address, but it is not needed, you can delete it.

[AggonyArcher]

Ok ok you all have shown off far too much for me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif

Now you can try the Flaming text.com and tell me how to get it right.

[AggonyArcher]

I tried leaving out the flaming text address but it didnt work either. I forgot to add that to the above reply. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Shadedredd]

Is it just me, or is everyone else just getting the no image red cross shown on swords posts?

Ahh...BTW Aggony. I have sorted out your problem...here is an image i just made with flaming text..let me mess around with yours first to see if it works too.

[Shadedredd]

here is your image..not very clear

http://ezb.flamingtext.com/ezb/2003/02/12/flamingtext_com_1045106962_3248.gif

here is the command, just change the < > to [ ]

[Lord Of Storms]

Did all the same stuff last night SD and I had a few good sigs posted but like yours they are turning to red x&#39;s I do not know why they looked real cool last night?

[Lord Of Storms]

alot of things are turning to red x&#39;s the post icons , my avatar hey mods is there a problem do you know whats going on all these custom sigs looked great last night now everything is turning to red x&#39;s

[Lord Of Storms]

I read on the flaming text site if you do not upload the image first before ripping it it will dissappear in an hour . That is what happen with mine I did not upload to a server I made the logo then ripped it converted from there format to gif and posted then in 1 hour they turned to the red boxes SD saw so I deleted most of them ShadeDredd I know how to make them will you explain the upload procedure? Thank You TSOS

[Shadedredd]

sword...my images are still showing. If flaming text deletes them after an hour, the only way to save them is to right click and use the save as option.

Then upload the image to a web hosting site (I use fortunecity.com, it gives you 25mb FREE web space). and then create a link to the image using the IMG tabs.

I will see if my images get deleted soon.

[Lord Of Storms]

Thanks SD I just tried it a different way I hope it sticks How do I use the free web server?

[Shadedredd]

Just goto www.fortunecity.com and create a free account, it is quite easy to do. I only use it for storing my photos and web pics, so 25mb should be more than enough.

By the way sword...nice logo. did you create it at flaming text too?

[Lord Of Storms]

yes and I hope and I can get it to stay I will try what you suggested Thanks Shade. TSOS

[AggonyArcher]

Testing the [ vs <

Im not sure if all the < signs needed to be changed or just the end ones.

[AggonyArcher]

GAH Bloody Hell

[AggonyArcher]

test 2

[AggonyArcher]

Bugger. I went back and redid th text and cut and pasted the code and still nada.

[AggonyArcher]

perhaps this should not be the same code for ezboard. Any suggestions on that since this is Ikonboard?

[Lord Of Storms]

OK AA here goes I have been playing with the code and I am testing something now and have to wait and see if it works the problem is if you do not have a host site or server (which I just did on SD &#39;s advice ,but I will teel you I have found a utilty called the EmotipadII that lets you drag and drop images, smilies ,icons etc. that is how I got my current sig. now I have to see if it sticks. The easy thing about this is you create your logo at flaming text.com do the htp conversion then just drag and drop to the Emotipad II and then drag and drop into your sig box here at the Org I will keep you up to date on how it goes good luck

[AggonyArcher]

Whoosh that went over my head

[Lord Of Storms]

By the way what font are you trying to make your sig with?

[AggonyArcher]

black forest

[AggonyArcher]

Ok I uploaded the gif file to my website and changed the addy so dumb test #1 million.

great guys. But this page took ages to load on my 56k.

But nice pics so well done. I can see talent with design is a common virtue in ORG members.

[Shadedredd]

Aggony..ok, a little easier:

your sig is this:

http://ezb.flamingtext.com/ezb/2003/02/12/flamingtext_com_1045106962_3248.gif

the command is:



You need to replace the < at the front with a [ and the > at the end with a ]...ok?

[TosaInu]

Problem seems to be that the path to the image is too long.

Code Sample

This one works:

Code Sample
&#91;URL=http&#58;//www.totalwar.org&#93;&#91;img&#93;http&#58;//www.totalwar.org/mongol/images/title1.jpg&#91;/img&#93;&#91;/URL&#93;
[/QUOTE]

[Shadedredd]

nope, the path is not to long..he is just having trouble understanding UB code..

here is another...

http://ezb.flamingtext.com/ezb/2003/02/26/flamingtext_com_1046287023_1229.gif

[Shadedredd]

and another aggony ...tell me if you want to use any of them.

http://ezb.flamingtext.com/ezb/2003/02/26/flamingtext_com_1046287789_27013.gif

[AggonyArcher]

how come everyone else can do it but me.

Gah, double GAH GAH

Im using the ezboard text that they are telling me and it has the [ instead of <

Dont you just cut and paste it in your custom signature section?

Bugger.

I appreciate the help though.

[AggonyArcher]

Test again

[AggonyArcher]

OK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

Shadedredd How did you know that and how do you know that is the right code and where u get it.


THANKS Everyone who helped.

[Shadedredd]

It´s just a case of understanding the UB code aggony, all i did was copy your original address:


Page

Then I removed the links to flamingtext.com:

http://ezb.flamingtext.com/ezb....248.gif (http://ezb.flamingtext.com/ezb/2003/02/12/flamingtext_com_1045106962_3248.gif)

Then I placed the UB image tags at the front and end (I have to show you using the < > instead of the proper [ ] otherwise Ezboard will try and show a pic that does not exist instead of the text

Glad to have been of help.

[Lord Of Storms]

Good job Shade I found that I can use flaming texts ezboard format rip the code and use my EmotipadII and drag and drop also thanks for the fortunecity tip my page is up and I can upload to it also this has been fun thanks guys

[TosaInu]

If you need to explain code to someone, this IBcode may be helpful:

Code Sample

Type &#91;code&#93;

then the code like&#58;
&#91;img&#93;http&#58;//www.totalwar.org/....&#91;/img&#93;

Close with {/code} &#40;square brackets&#41;
[/QUOTE]

[AggonyArcher]

what I noticed was as you said with regards to the ib code

was at the beginning and at the end I needed to put [image]

and I had not done that. once i did vola the flame started to burn.

Thanks everyone
