Hello, Irmo_of_lorien!

What you need to do is make sure the image you want to put in your signature has first been uploaded to someplace like Photobucket (unless it's a Realm Insignia, and there should be a place somewhere within your individual Realm that shows the link).

You then need to enter the link (http:-whatever) into your Signature box (in 'My Accounts' at the top of the page, and then click on 'Change User Information'), and make sure you have [*img] and [/img*] (no asterisks!) around the link.

I *do* ask you to pay attention to the signature rules that are just below the box where sigs are entered. For one thing, you will need to make sure the image you want to load is no more than 60 Pixels high (the same height as Avatars).

If you need more help, just post here or feel free to PM me.

Hi there

Photobucket is a site you can use for free to store pictures on, you load the pictures onto the site from your computer. You can access the site by clicking this link http://photobucket.com/

Suilad!

I was wondering if there's a possibility to upload a pic into my signature from the pictures I've uploaded to CoE? (using the image uploading place)

Thank you in advance!

As long as your image is within the site rules, that's just fine.

Just as a reminder, they are:

1) Images in signatures should be no larger than 60 pixels high. (the same size as Avatars)
2) No scrolling text, scrolling images, or bouncing images.
3) Animated images are acceptable, so long as they fit the above size requirements, and are not overly distracting or obnoxious to view.
4) Signatures should be no larger than 3 lines of text high -- images should be aligned to the left or right of text, to better utilize space.

Le hannon Gwendeth!

As you can see I have managed to do it!
Just one more question: how can I make the pic align to the right side of my signature?

Yeah, same question! And how do you make it so the text is in the middle of the sig?

For text to be in between two images you need to use the follow coding for your images:

Hey, Elfalas!

I took a look at your profile - you need to use '' for your image to work, and not the [img], etc..

Just do me a favor and make sure your sig image is within the 60 pixel-high limit, too.

Now when I try to change my sig to have a pic in it, a page comes up saying not allowed to change user information directly, or something to that effect. I guess I am challenged when it comes to pics in sigs. Oh well, thank you for the suggestion Gwendeth.

About the "not allowed to change user information directly" message, at least for me it comes when I edit my profile and go back by pressing the back button (or arrow) in the browser and then try to edit the profile again. I have to go to My Account and there to Edit Profile, again, so that it works.

I hope someone can help me . . .

I recently tried to change the picture in my sig, and suddenly, I can't get it to work. I never had problems with it before, and I've tried rewriting the code numerous times, and the only thing I get is the little white square with a red X.

And now I find that I can't even reload the original image I had before. I've tried and , as well as BBCode, which I usually don't use, but nothing works. Any help at all would be mucho appreciated.

Try this:


You don't need a closing code for the HTML image code and usually you need to put HTML after the = in "quotes". =) I think that should work.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still isn't working. And now, the picture isn't even appearing at all.

I noticed that, when I go to my Profile page via the link above (not through My Account), the signature box has in it instead of anything resembling . And when I update my sig through Profile, it doesn't seem to be saving the changes.

That code should work, it could be that your image destination/source isn't working or something. Where did you upload your image? CoE? Photobucket? Could I take a look at exactly what your HTML code is?

For some people, they might have to change their signatures through both their profile and my account settings. If all else fails, clear your entire signature from my account and your profile and start anew.

lady_of_the_ring...

I'm a bit confused, because I see an image in your signature.

But, what you might try doing is removing your signature completely from the 'change user information' in 'my account'; then remove it completely from 'profile'.

Then, delete all the cookies off your computer, reboot it, and try loading it ONLY under 'My Account' and see what happens.

Hello, PrincessPana,

Wow, that is *really* strange! I've looked at your account and can't see anything unusual with it.

You might try logging off COE, and then delete all your 'cookies'. Reboot your computer, and then you'll just have to watch for the next time one of your replies starts a new page to see if it worked/changed anything.

Hi Gwendeth,

Glad to make your acquaintance. Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

Take a look at my last post - Page 18 of the Many Meetings thread - Wanderers walking to Rivendell, (1st post of the New page) or the New topic also in the Many Meetings Thread - 'When Irish Eyes are Smiling'.

Any Ideas??

I would very much welcome your input, and again thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

Yes, I had seen that post earlier when I was checking things out.

The only thing I can suggest is what I have so far (delete your 'cookies' and reboot) and to then watch and see if it happens again.

Hi,

There should be a thread somewhere in your Realm that has the link command in it.

However, you need to make sure your link begins with

If you check with your Realm Head or one of your Realm Leaders, they can give you the exact command.
