Thread: How to upload a signature image to Imageshack and use it in your sig

Ok, I as has Jared, have noticed a lot of people asking about how to put a signature image in their sig:

Well, you'll need 3 things:
A signature image
An Internet Connection
The ability to follow this tutorial

Well, the first step is to download the image from where the person posted it:



Save it in some memorable place. My pictures, for example is a good place



After its done (this shouldn't take barely any time, unless your on dial-up), you will need to go to an image upload site. In my example, I'm using Imageshack, but you can use PhotoBucket and Flickr, but there are many more options.

When your at Imageshack, click "Browse" next to the text entry bar.



Click on your signature, and then click Open.



Then click on the "host it!" button on the bottom to start the upload process



When the image is done uploading, find the code that is called "forum code 1" (you could also use the "Direct link" code and just wrap [IMG][/IMG] tags around it) and then click on it: then, press Control+C or Rightclick and click Copy



Then click on User CP at the top on your forum bar, and go to Edit Signature



paste in the code, right click paste or Control+V, from ImageShack and then proceed to edit out the "Shot at" and the Url code if you wish. (I personally edit out the shot out and url link). when your finished, click Save and your sig nature image will be saved into your signature:



w00t! you now have a sig image in your signature!

EDIT: Edited title so it looks better

Nice work. You could use the one labeled "forums" under the "embeddable code" section. Then you don't have to strip off the imageshack stuff.

Oh well. You did a way better job at it than me. haha, great explanation.

Oh yeah. And if you click the box (so that it is no longer checked), after you upload your image, that says 'show details", then it will only show the link, so that you don't have to cut anything out of it.

yeah, i noticed that after i screenied and posted it.

Yay! You used my siggy as an example. I feel so special. :P

there's always the method of using the raw image tag at the bottom of imageshack's site after you upload and just adding the [img] tags yourself.

Congrats on the sticky! now nobody will read it. haha. ^_^

what? i got a sticky! w00t! Thanks for the sticky guys.

You're welcome. Good info like this deserved a sticky.

incredibly unrelated...

But where can I get windowblinds like that? Seriously?!?
Kinda reminds me of beryl and aquamarine. ;)

yes offtopic, but thats not windows blinds. I used a UX Theme patcher (yeah, i'll link you if you want), and installed a .theme file and the other file. i'll pm you with the link. but yeah, runs MUCH faster than windows blinds would, and is awesome looking

Awesome post this really works man..
