I can't figure this out for the life of me.

I've tried html, just pasting the image, and using the forums image thing to put an image as my signatur but i just can't figure out. Anybody want to help me with the probably easily solved completely ridiculous mistake lol?

If you want a picture as your signature on the forum, then first create it (50 * 50 pixels, gif, jpg), then upload it with Photobucket (or something simular), and then, copy/paste the URL to Your Own Avatar (User profile/Forum).

Cheers

Rename the file so the url doesn't have a space in. This forum does not like space characters in urls.

By way of demonstration, he emitted a batlike squeak that was indeed bothersome.

don't know if you already know this, but it looks like in your sig you're using the url tags, you should use img.

edit:
figured it out. It was because the url for the picture had a % in it. not sure why that affected it but it did.

Thanks guys

Just so you know, that sig is way too big. The max size is 600x120.

Haha nice name XD
For some reason the link thats supposed to contain the image just displays a load of characters: "http://www.gametorpedo.com/sig/f057d90e-0-0.png"
This is from an auto generated sig from gametorpedo.com. Would anyone have any idea of the source of this problem?
Cheers!

No worries. Well the actual code does have the img tags but I think the problem is in the image link thats why I focused on that. I think maybe the sig generator on gametorpedo.com may be faulty as the image doesnt seem to generate :S
Here is the full code I'm using for the sig..

[*url=http://www.gametorpedo.com/games/3d-air-hockey][*img]http://www.gametorpedo.com/sig/f057d90e-0-0.png[/img*][/url*]

Without the "*" of course

Just displays a load of characters rather than where I assume the image should be shown so I think its a problem with there sig generator! I'll get on to them on their forums! Thanks anyway!

@DarkCoder, what is your avatar? I've seen a similar pattern somewhere else recently...is it some kind of mathematical thing?

@ BMacZero

its a marker/program/label. Androids can decode them along with a few other phones.
