In response to the not unreasonable question of how to load a picture in a signature, here's how to do it:
You first need to have the image hosted somewhere. If you don't, already, I suggest Photobucket, which is free and easy to use. You upload your image from your computer to Photobucket (or other host, such as Imageshack), then copy and paste the IMG Code Link Option into your signature box in your profile editor. You can have multiple images or lines of text (including embedded links) in your sig. Just please try not to use anything too colossal! Other people need to post on a given page of a thread, too. =^[.]^= -------------------- The enjoyment of any good thing is only enhanced by sharing it with others.

Ray,
I have a picture question, there's probably a simple answer but how do you shrink a picture in a post so that it dosen't distort the page. I've seen it on Sfi-Fi site where they'll have a picture and it's in a box with the words Image Reduced by X Amount (X being a percentage of the image reduction) Thanks RD -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?
Pinhead: Oh, Kirsty. So eager to play, so reluctant to admit it. Female Cenobite: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us? Pinhead: Two minutes. Two centuries. It all ticks by so quickly. You are so very like your ancestors, did you know that? I have the distinct sense of déjà vu. The same defiance, the same faithless hope in the light? Dr Paul Merchant: And what do you have faith in? Pinhead: Nothing. I am SO exquisitely empty. |

I've never dealt with this. On Photobucket, at least, along the top of the page is a set of tabs, including Edit Images. That has a drop-down menu which includes Resize. If you aren't using PB, or if that doesn't pan out for you, I'd recommend asking DarthMarley. He'd likely know what to do. =^[.]]^= -------------------- The enjoyment of any good thing is only enhanced by sharing it with others.

It turns out that you add the picture as an attachment and it must reduce it automatically, I have an example in the "How Big Is Your Star" Thread. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box."
