How to Put Pictures in Your Signature (For New Members)

A'ight, note that I'm posting this guide only for new members but especially @jaydubb03 because he wanted to know. However, there are some people who don't have much forum experience so it may help them too.

Step 1: Hover over your account name in the top right corner, then select signature.


Step 2: This link will take you to the text box where you post whatever you want in your signature. However, there is no option to "upload a file" from your computer directly. This means that you'll have to have a certain site host your image and copy the link it gives you.


Note that most forums, including this one, use a form of code called BBC (bulletin board code). That's important, but we'll get to that later.

Step 3: Upload the pictures you want to a website that hosts images. Some I know of are photobucket, tinypic, and gyazo. But for the sake of the tutorial let's use TinyPic. Follow the arrows in this picture to upload your picture to TinyPic (choose your image from your computer; make sure TinyPic knows to upload it as an image; click upload). Then wait for it to upload (should only take a few seconds).


Step 4: Now that it's uploaded, there will be a series of links to your image. The one you want to choose is the one with the tags

Code:

[IMG]insert link here[/IMG]

. This is the form of code that forums use, called bulletin board code (as I stated earlier). If you want your image to be embedded in your signature instead of a link (which you do), copy that link.


Step 5: Return back to your signature box from Step 2. Now, paste the image code in your signature box as shown.


Now just save your changes, and if you've done this all right you will have a perfectly fine image in your signature ^_^ Hope this helps

Not been a Month :3

 

Those are really crappy image hosting websites, use imgur

 

If you want to do it that way, but most forums don't have that as a feature so I found this method more useful.

Not really but use whichever you like haha

 

there is just that annoying picture box when i do that ..

 

help meh plz

 

Sw33t bruh u hit it dis time

 

Sw33t necro post bruh.

 

Ai don't copy my sw33t Text Speak (lol)

 

Idc you still necro posted.

 

I think commenting on help posts, debate topics and map submissions doesn't count as necroposting, just as being late to the party.

Get your image so it is on a separate webpage (so not like straight off Google or it's origin webpage).
Copy it's URL.
Go to signature changing page.
Click 'Image' (Next to the smiley face).
Paste the URL in the box that appears.
Click OK.
Let happiness and hilarity at your signature ensue.

 

ty

 

Yeah I'm with Smelter, on help threads it is fine to post late. So it's not necroposting
