Signature / Avatar Info

[JaysGM - (Mat)]

For anyone who wants to get a signature banner on the bottom of posts:

First, go to the following website:

imageshack.us/

Click the "Choose File" button.
Select your image file and click ok.
Click "Host it" button.

At the beginning, you have to select "resize image" and either avatar for avatars, or "640 x 480 (for message boards)" for the banner.

On new window copy the text in the text field next to the "Hotlink for forums (1)"

Then, go to your profile on here (top of any page you can access it).
Click modify profile.
In the "Signature" box paste the text you had copied, or the avatar URL for the avatar (recommended size for avatar is 60/60

Click "Modify Profile" button.

And done.

You may have to play around with the size of the banner in order to make sure it isn't too big or small.

Really impressed with some of the Sigs.

Yeah, it's quite fun looking at other peoples Sigs. Lots of different ideas out there. I have lately decided the more simple the better. I have found a style/formula I like a lot. Amazing landscape in the background. Player in the foreground. Subtle text of some kind.

Some of my other favorites that i have made over time:

Bengals one might be my fave.

Thanks Clay. You can do a bit more fancy ones and out of the box if it is a GIF file extension (and that one is). I really like the ones I just did (Price, McCutchen, Santana) but of the older style the hockey one is my fav. The photo made the sig (amazing photo by someone!) but I think I might replicate that style in the future on some that I do.

File extensions that seem to work on boards are (off the top of my head) jpg, gif and png.
