View Full Version : New Signature Image Option and restrictions
bplinson 31st December 2006, 13:45 With the upgrade to VB 3.6.4 you can now upload a signature image instead of having to use the [img] tag (which is turned off for signatures now).
In order to use this feature go to USER CP > EDIT SIGNATURE
Then underneath the signature editor you will see the area that will allow you to upload a signature picture.
Upload your picture.
After the picture is uploaded click on Insert Signature Picture and SAVE SIGNATURE your picture will be placed into your signature.
This is ONLY available for XL Forum Team Members, Gold and Silver Supporting Vendors.

maddog 31st December 2006, 14:14 This mean my sig is gone and I need a redo?
maddog 31st December 2006, 14:14 Guess not.
hoosier xlc 31st December 2006, 14:18 still can't get it
bplinson 31st December 2006, 14:21 Did you click SAVE SIGNATURE after clicking INSERT SIGNATURE PICTURE?
1stGenRex 31st December 2006, 14:21 bert, would you like me to make a tutorial using screen shots?
bplinson 31st December 2006, 14:21 Guess not.
Your sig photo is one of the reason I am setting the restrictions. It is just WAY too large.
bplinson 31st December 2006, 14:22 bert, would you like me to make a tutorial using screen shots?
Sure. That would be great!
1stGenRex 31st December 2006, 14:23 Sure. That would be great!
Cool, I'll get to work on it tomorrow ( i mean today, after a few hours of sleep) as it is 5am:D

TomSchneider 31st December 2006, 15:30 Do you see the signature picture in the EDIT SIGNATURE window near the bottom?

TomSchneider 31st December 2006, 15:32 Do you see the signature picture in the EDIT SIGNATURE window near the bottom?

i did read that but i dont know what BB code is...........lol sorry, is there any way around that or does that mean just members can have pics?
prplhays 31st December 2006, 18:10 Your sig photo is one of the reason I am setting the restrictions. It is just WAY too large.
Well, if the signiture photos are the problem then why restrict signitures and signiture photos? Why not just restrict the photos?

Moker 3rd January 2007, 06:05 my 2 cents..
leave the [img] and just limit sig size (dimension and kb size)
non members = 40k
members = 120k
max sig dimensions
600 wide x 240 tall (pixels) for everyone.
i understand this is your baby, but i really hate places that play favorites.
Moker 4th January 2007, 20:20 oh and..
you'll now find, that since you got rid of the auto last post, that the forum doesn't need to host sigs anymore.
so the webpage won't jump around with each download of a pic or sig.
this will put less stress on the server, making for a quicker forum.
