How To Upload a Signature/Sigpic/Banner - Now Idiot Proof
 

Since I've recently been deluged with pleads for help on how to upload a signature image, here it is, in one easy post.

Step One: Find the picture you want, and save it to your computer. Keep in mind that the size max is 400 pixels wide by 100 pixels high, with a size limit of 35 kilobytes. My example will be this stupid sig made in about 10 seconds, using google and Adobe Photoshop.

Step Two: Host your signature image by going to this site. Click on browse, which is demonstrated in the below photo.

ADMIN EDIT: Note that this step is completely unnecessary.

Once you hit browse, a popup will come up, and display your files. Find the correct file, and select it, then hit okay.

Step Three: Now, go to User CP, which is located in the top bar of Oddworld Forums. When the bar drops down after you click on it, click edit signature.

Step Four: Okay, it's getting hard now, but stay with me. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and follow the next instructions in the following images.

Now, once you've done that, click 'Save Signature'. Scroll back down, and then follow these last two instructions.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE JUST SUCCESFULLY UPLOADED YOUR IMAGE SIGNATURE! WOOHOO!

(Disclaimer: This guide was made assuming you are using the full interface for OWF, not the lame one that only lets you alter text effects like bold, italic, underline, and size. If you do not have full interface set and don't know how to turn it on despite numerous searching in the user CP, follow the following instructions)

Step One: Run down to the nearest firearms store, and apply for a gun liscene.

Step Two: Receive said liscene an unknown number of days later.

Step Three: Return to gun shop, and purchase a Colt .357 magnum. Purchase an appropriate box of shells.

Step Four: Return to your home, and load the Colt.

Step Five: Place barrel against forehead, make sure gun is loaded, make peace with any gods you have.

Step Six: Pull trigger, and rid the world of a menace.

But, really. Thanks to Salamander, I don'thave to waste time typing it myself.

Thank you for reading my guide. I hope you've had a nice day and saved me a headache.

Dude, brilliant work. But you can upload your sigpic directly to OWF. No need to use ImageShack or any similar service.

Thank yea, oh kind Mitsur. Now I have something to point to when people send me PMs asking why their sigs aren't working.

*stickifies*

Thanks, Mitsur!I really needed that information!

How to change your interface. Now no one has to ask.

Thanks salamander. Main post edited.

Heh. I had Max set my interface up for me. If I had had this guide back in the day, it would have been so much simpler.

But getting a gun license is almost impossible here in the UK.

Signature
 

I followed all the steps and it says my signature image cannot be saved!

I'd make a joke about inventing a better idiot, but it's just way too easy.

Hey Nate!
 

Are you talkin' about me as an idiot!?!

I did what?

I'm almost positive it was you...

Well, seeing as this technique is - quote unquote - idiot proof, if you couldn't do it then you mustn't be an idiot.

Curse my witty title skills. See what I've done?

My Insert picture into Signature does not appear!!!

You should listen to me, you might learn something.

Shut up, would you?

You've only got yourself to blame, the original post clearly lays out the method. The only way you could screw this up is if you didn't read all the instructions.

hi thanks for that mitsur but does any have any good fuzzle pics.i cant find any!pleasedisplay if you have any.thanks

Go to mitsurs sig thread or go on TOGG

ok thanks i will

arrgh i cant find any good oddworld pics that will fit on a sig

Thank you Mitsur!
I always wondered why i always had to typ stuff like [img] and [url] on these forums instead of pressing a button :fuzemb:

Oh, please. Just edit pictures and fit several in your sig. There's plenty of them.

erm ok then

I have question: Can anyone tell me how to define alternative text using [sigpic] tags?
