HTML guide for sig
I would love to have an elegant, discrete sig. of the likes of say,
luxn0va, Elonoir, that sort, (hats off) but I can't figure how to write it/copy it.
Can some kind soul write the HTML (for lazy old me) that I would use to get that Centre justified, Link based Sig. They are so easy on the eye, especially for long threads.
Could you explain a little better what you want?
I want to have One little 'button'(or word) that when you click on it you are taken to a speed test image, another button will show you a few proofs images in my Picassa web page. Something crazy simple looking. I don't want any graphics actually on the sig. I guess the 'word- 'speed test'' would be set to a hyperlink to the picassa web page, etc. but I don't know how to write the HTML string.
Does that explain?
Edit - I don't know, I am so useless at this, I spent a couple of hours just trying to simply put text on the sig - as you can see - nothing at all. Complete failure. Absolutely useless. Crapass Bonehead Retard.
I even cut and pasted from tutorial sites - into the signature edit box, saved it and... nada.
<html>
<body>
Clueless Test 1
</body>
</html>
and so many variants thereof ...So depressed.

So here it is, I 'got it'. So At least I am halfway there. I realized that the Sig doesn't backdate to your older posts (or it didn't for me) like I understand that when you change your avatar the older posts all get it to match.
So I guess it's going to be trial and error. There will be both!
EDIT: please don't tell me off for 'double postin' I suggest the reason is self-evident. If not, then forgive me, but editing my last post wouldn't of worked/made any sense.

That would be the correct syntax for phpBB based forums in BB code if you remove the spaces I added so it doesn't get parsed in the code box. For some reason though I think that TI doesn't recognize this one properly as long with other BB codes like to avoid parsing, hence the spaces i added in between the code.:001_tongue:Code:[ url= link here ][ img] image link here [ /img][ /url]
Any mod that could help with this?
Another option is to use a named link instead using:
that would look something like GoogleCode:[ url= link here ] link name here [ /url]
Hope it brings some light!

Another nice alternative I just thought of is just to use that button like image just for display and add a named link next to it. Just upload the image you want to an image hosting service then link to it here and add your named link after. The code should look something like this:
That would result once all the spaces are removed into:Code:[ img] image link here [ /img][ url= link here ] Google [ /url]
Cheers Morty, good stuff for me to play with. Thank you for the input, it will give me something to chew on. (hehehoot) Progress will be plainly seen (or not). In the meantime I got the test 'button' working, and IT is backwardly updated! who knows
Glad I gave some ideas that helped and also that you got the button working. What did you use btw? HTML, BB/vB code or what? Please provide the code you used it may help more people that needed something similar.Originally Posted by jellyhead
Mortivore, Firstly thanks for your help - I really appreciate it!
Once I found that Sigs only appear on posts written AFTER the first time the code is uploaded, that saved me a lot of frustration. I was always checking on an old post to see if what I was trying to do was working, and I was seeing Nothing! So once I got that things were looking a lot better!
I am working with what you sent me now, but first to answer your question as to the text and button/link. Well it was embarissingly straight forward...
1- select 'centre justified' in the top menu
2- type in text, then select size to '1' - smallest
3- hit 'return'
4- From the 'upload signature picture' box below I browsed my desktop for the 'button' (a small 16x16 pixel colour filled square jpg), hit 'open' then 'upload' - and it then apears as 'Your Current Signature Picture'.
5- Back to the Editor box I selected the 'Insert Image' Button, and up pops the [SIGPIC] code.
6- I then went to my picasa web page and selected the speed test image, choosing 'original size/large image' and 'Image only' (not entire album), Copy the http link info string.
7- Returning to the 'Editor box' on T-I, I highlighted the [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] and went to the 'Insert Link' button on the menu, and pasted the Picasaweb string in the space provided.
8- Check the preview, and Save. Done.
Anyway, I am working with your leads now so that I can use 2 or 3 buttons. The site editor will only alow for 1 'image' only. Or I will look for another work-around. I have noticed that you can successfully use a 'smily as a link button! ha
I am having some dificulty connecting the 'button' with the link with your code, although each works indepenantly.
Thanks again, jelly
Nice one jelly. Will work on it too. Would be nice though if a mod could throw in some light on why the traditional BB code isn't working here and whether a different syntax is used for some reason or not....
