I finally got arround to makeing a sig image. I think I like it. For now anyway

. Anyone else have sig images?

I didn't know that the image tag would work in the sig line. I've got a couple of links that take up most of the allotted 300 characters.

actaully, i'm just kinda finding out, that the first time, it doesn't work. I have to edit it, and just hit update, and then it works... Help George?

Turboale,

That sig looks really good. The only problem that I have is that I can't find a free server that will host images besides Photopoint. Soon, Photopoint is going to make people pay for service so that will no longer work.

Check out www.brinkster.com They're free, no pop-up ads, 30MB of space, and they allow linking to pictures like this:

Gotta tell you I think the sig pic thing is lame.

Especially with the logos incorporated into it.

Hold the cheese please

towerymt,

Thanks for that website, it seems to be just what I have been looking for! I think that 30 mb of space should be good enough for storing pictures!

The idea of the sigs is nice, however when threads get long the pictures will hog too much bandwith. Maybe it would be a bit more courteous to others if you only enable the sig on the first post or reply of the thread. Just my $.02 worth, but I'm sure that others would agree.

Yep, that's why it says under the signature portion of the profile modification section, "You may use UBB Code in this field, but not HTML. The UBB Code Image tag is not permitted, however."

I've seen on a few other boards where people will insert 30 or 40k worth of animated images, text, links etc, and then proceed to add their sig to every reply in the thread.

I think it starts getting overboard when the signature on average takes up more space than the user's actual post.

Bandwidth is also a consideration, especially for those users on dialup.

I think a couple lines of text, links, and maybe a very small graphic (like 1 or 2k, 100px wide X 45px height) is best.
