Can someone help me make a signature? I cant seem to find out how post a picture in my signature. Help!

Hmm, upload a picture to an image-hosting place such as www.ripway.com (http://www.ripway.com) or www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com)

in the "Signatures" settings in your forum controls, use [*img]URL of image[*/img] (without asterisks) ^^;
don&#39;t know if I&#39;m making any sense ><

I&#39;m willing to make sigs and Avatars for those who want them. I&#39;ll need instructions and some source material. They won&#39;t be fancy, and; until I can figure out how to do so using my own software; you&#39;ll have to shrink the file size for the sig down to 50k yourself.

thanks wintermoon i always wondered how to make a siggy&#33;

ahem...this sould be in the arts/graphics area.


thank you.

If you&#39;re wanting to compress a sig in JPG format you can use www.xat.com &#39;s free JPEG optimiser :)

Unfortunately it&#39;s for Wintels only. :ranting::frusty: Know of anything similar for Macs?

I just use Photoshop&#39;s "Save optimized" or "save for web"... it lets you tweak JPEG and GIF options and shows the exact file size.

Hmmm...

http://www.filetransit.com/view.php?id=15049 has a shareware tool that supports Mac - it&#39;s the only decent one I&#39;ve been able to find, I&#39;m afraid. Though if you send the image to me I can compress it for you and send it back :)

&#91;img&#93;http&#58;//www.yourimagehost.com/you/yourpic.jpg&#91;/img&#93;

^ That&#39;s an example, so edit the URL to your picture.

I have Photoshop LE and used the "Save for web" function when I was creating my own sig, but it still came out at around 130+k. (I don&#39;t use my Photoshop much anyway. My Color It&#33; is far more capable when it comes to manipulating images, but it doesn&#39;t have an optimizing function...) <_<

Unfortunately that&#39;s for Wintel too. :crybaby::frusty: There just doesn&#39;t seem to be *anything* for Mac that isn&#39;t either for an app that I don&#39;t have (non-LE Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc.) or isn&#39;t for OSX. (I&#39;m OS 9.2.2...) :frusty: I guess I&#39;m probably going to have to sub-contract my file-shrinking to you until I&#39;m able to find something that I can use... <_<

wah&#33;X_X
my siggy died&#33; it was too big&#33; nononono&#33;
