How to use sigs and personal photos

[Davion]

How do I gt them to work? Do I have to put each of them on a website? Or can I give it the address on my pc?

You have to upload them to a webhost. Such as Geocities, Homestead, etc.

Then you use the tags [img]imageurlhere[/url] and your image is set.

Silly abdur...

the closing tag would be [/img] not [/url].

Or, if you were feeling adventrous, you could go like this in your sig



The place I use to host my pictures is http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk

Wow, we'll just add that to "Future Bitch Slap". I'm surprised I did'nt catch that one, I usually look over my posts. Thanks RBF.

SO I just have to put them on a website? Like, when I make my website, could I put it there and use it?

That would depend where your website is located. Some sites don't allow you to link for other sites(host it at your site and link to it here for example). Trial and error, but you can always give it a try.

I'll try then. Could someone tell me about a good site I could use in case that doesn't work?

[Davion]

Crap. What did I do wrong?

When you host a picture at Geocities, you need to save it as a .txt file. Rename that file to .txt and then update your link with the .txt on the end. It will work, it's a little trick that goes past Geocities block to outside linking. Once you do that, you'll be good to go =)
