adding images to signature and posts?

(kgbdino) #1

how do i add images to my posts and my signature?

(DarkangelUK) #2

use the image tags [IMG] and [*/IMG] but delete the * (had to add it or it would parse the code)

so example is…

 [IMG]http://www.pictures.com/picture.jpg[/IMG]

thnks
but the images wont show the keep showing as a frame with a red X in top left corner with the phrase Image after it

That’s probably because you’re linking an image on a free web server that doesn’t allow hotlinking.

Also, that image is way too big to use as a sig, and would break formatting in this forum.

That may be true!
But the “Image YO” on that website is awesome!! :slight_smile:

You work for SD now Salteh (since you’re using the SD logo as avatar)?

/me checks the team profile page… nope, nothing there.

You should change your avatar Salteh since it is confusing…
KGBDino , just host it on photobucklet/imageshack, freewebs wont allow it , also note that your image is huge…

hey how do i link the image to a website so when its clicked on it opens a page

[IMG] blahblahblah.com/images/10 [*/IMG]www.splash-not-damaged.com[*/html] (minus the *'s) would that work?

{url=http://www.ursitehere.com/imageuwant.jpg]text u want here[/url}
replace the {}'s with []

alright i take it the “text u want here” is the website? or the text that will show up with an underline… cause i dont want just underlined text to link off of… but i’m trying it now thanks!

EDIT : tried this
{url=http://www.dies-world.com/files/Commando/sig3.jpg] www.dies-world.com[/url} www.dies-world.com Honor.
