Signatures

[Stu]

Hi,
We have changed the way Signatures work.
We no longer allow the Tags in signatures.

The reason for this is we are seeing a massive increase of external linked images, this is bad news for the speed of this site because when you view a post you have to wait until the external site delivers the image, if this external site is slow then it slows our site down too.

To add an image to your signature you can now upload an image to our server using the Edit Signature option in UserCP (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/usercp.php)

1. Click Edit Signature in your UserCP
2. In the Signature Picture section use Option 1 or Option 2 to select an image.
3. Click Save Signature
4. Click Insert Signature Picture, this will add tags in the signature message box. The picture will only appear when these tags are present in the signature.
5. click Save Signature

If you have lost your image and your current signature just shows a URL to the picture then just paste that URL into Option 1 of the above instructions.

[IMG]http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8766&stc=1&d=1176835743

You can delete and change your Sig image at anytime as many times as you wish.

Apologies for the inconvienance of having to edit your signature, but I can assure you it is in the interest of keeping this site running smoothly for all members.

Signature Size Limits:
Regular Members = 500 wide x 200 high and 30Kb
DIBB AP Holders = 500 wide x 200 high and 50Kb

Regards
Stu

Thanks Stu, all done :thumb:

[Vabeth]

All done! :D

[Claire44]

Sorted, thanks Stu.

[Andre]

Hmm, odd... I have tried to replace my old IMG tagged version with the new SIGPIC tags version, and without adding or changing anything else in the sig, the DIBB now says that I'm using more than 10 lines and won't let me re-save the signature file... If I remove one blank line (thus making 9 lines) then it will let me preview fine, but as it was OK before I don't know why it's not OK now. Any thoughts?

Hello, it's me thicko here again. Thought I was quite clever getting my signature back up but cannot get rid of the code for sig underneath. Please feel sorry for this thick old woman:confused2

[mama267]

[Lana]

I take it you can only have one picture then so its my glitter signature or the red shoes???

mmmm heels or glitter???? heels or glitter????

[WTP]

I've only recently opened up a photobucket account so that I can put my own photos on here to show you when called for. Will I still be able to do that if I upload my photos to photobucket first or will I have to put them on another way now?

[Stu]

Shelly,
it's not the physical size it's the KiloByte size, regular members are allowed 30Kb I think your original was 45Kb

[Villainlover]

Shelly,

yes but Stu, not being computer savvy I don't know how to change it down without physically shrinking it ... I only manage straight pictures using Pix resizer :blush:

[Leanne1977]

Well i managed to get my glitter sig on, hooray!!:grin:

[Stu]

just click on the URL that is currently in your signature so that it displays the picture.
Right click on the picture and save it to your desktop.
Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread.

[ambersmom]

Now im a blonde but i just dont get this comp thing, ive tried and tried and to be really honest i dont understand, sorry, can anyone help ..........pretty please

[ambersmom]

now im getting invalid url, help help

[Andre]

It's easier still if you just copy your current picture's URL, which can still be seen in your sig at present (that's all the text which starts with "http:" and ends with the filename itself, such as "ambersmom.gif"). Then just paste that whole lump of text straight into the "Option 1" line in the DIBB signature setup space, and press Enter. You should now see the picture appear under the heading "Your current signature picture". Then you can just delete the old link completely, and insert the new text wherever you want in your sig, and you're done.

[Claddagh]

You need to have the new code:



Instead of the current link to the actual graphics, which is still in your sig.

Andre

[Stu]

You need to add your picture using option 1 or option 2, as per the instructions at the start of this thread.

Then as Andre has said above, all you need in your signature is

You don't need anything in the middle of

You should remove any Tags
and you should remove any URL's ie http://www...... or www.....

[lthewliss]

Test...........:D (oooh, it works!)

Andre

[Brightonboy]

[Stu]

[Kayw]

Testing to see if I've got my signature back



Yesssssss

[Andre]

Tried that Andre dont seem to work

Sorry, I should have been more specific, you needed to remove the whole of the old image link, not just the first few "http:" characters of it - see Stu's post.

Andre

[peter pan's mum]

Just testing.

[Brightonboy]

Thanks Stu and Andre Got it sorted now, now I,m a happy Dibber :d: :d: :d:

Tony

[lausan]

ive tried and tried all im getting is invalid file followed all the tips giving up had enough

[Stu]

if you are getting invalid file then it means the file is corrupt or it's in a format we don't recognise or it's got unconventional characters in the file name.

save the image to your desktop, make sure it's a .jpg or .gif

If the file name has spaces or %20 or non alpanumeric charaters in it then just rename it with something english with no spaces like mypic.jpg

Now just use the browse option as per the instructions on the first post of this thread

[missl]

does it work ?

[missl]

yes it does thanx

[lisagirlyuk]

looks good

[ujpest_doza]

How do i change my countdown?

The current countdown i have appears to be increasing not decreasing as i think it related to d.o.t. 29/12/06.

Our next 2 dates of travel are DLP 21/06/07 and WDW 06/10/07.

[Andre]

Just click on the "User CP" (Control Panel) link and then choose Edit Options from the left-hand side. Countdowns are set in the Thread Display Options section - just replace your old details with a new date & location.
