How to add an image to a forum sig...

[xXrawrXx]

Ok. DO NOT COPY & PASTE!!! I am tired of people with little, tiny, un-see-able images in their sigs. So I expect people to do this.

And please, I know this is obvious, but I am making this for people that can't figure it out themselves. Don't yell at me like you did with my last mini-tut ...

1. Save the image to your pictures. To do this, left click it, and hit 'Save Picture As.' A window should pop up and you will have to type in a name for the picture.

2. After it is saved, go to TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting and click on 'browse' and (a window will pop up) go to where you saved the picture, select it, and on the bottom of the window it says 'open' on most computers. Click that.

3. After that, a button should be on the bottom of Tinypic. It should say, "Upload," I think (I don't know for sure because it is in German to me.).

4. Wait for it to load, and when it says, "Click here to see your image." Don't click there, a page should come up with a whole bunch of codes. Under or Above it, one of them should say: Massage Boards. Copy that.

5. Go to where you edit your signature, and paste it in there and save the changes to your sig and it will show up where ever you posted in in your sig.

Thankyou and good night my friends.

1. Press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard (mine is to the left of F12) this saves whatever you can see on the screen to your clipboard.

2. Open an image editting program, I'll use paint for this example.

3. Paste the image (CTRL+V).

4. Using the rectangle select tool select the part of the image you want then copy it (CTRL+C).

5. Click "file", "new", "no".

6. Paste it (CTRL+V) and resize the canvas to the right size (drag the bottom right hand corner).

7. Save the file as a .PNG.

8. Upload the file to TinyPic.com

9. Copy and paste the "IMG Code for forums and message boards" in to your forum post.

The result:



Any problems reply to this thread and I'll try to help out.

It really is the same thing. You do the same exact thing when posting an image and when putting it in your sig.

P.S TOPF is the only 1 that had a tiny sig. I don't even know how he did that.

Xzv also has one I just noticed.

He copies and pastes. And they are different. If I were looking for something showing me how to put an image in a sig, I would not click on how to post a screenie.
