4. you just put the url in your sig line.

Place the url of the image to which you are linking in the sig line. Easy as pie.

You go to your Profile page, and insert the above into the

text.

9. See my post above that is in plaintext format...

Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 04:00 PM by jchild

did you use the brackets around the url? Try again without the brackets and with just the url, then a space, then your text.

13. I've tried that as well

just putting the address into the sig window, still nothing. Does it matter what website I've referencing?

17. Hmmm....let's try moving it to another server:

Download the image to your a: drive. Rename it a short, easy name, like godrepub.jpg. Then go to this website:

http://207.137.168.225/

It's an easy uploader. Upload the image. It will take you to another page after the image has been uploaded. Copy the url of your image.

Then, try posting THAT url in your sig.

15. because you're linking to an image on something awful.com's server

they don't allow leeching. save the image and upload it to your own file space.

27. Love the image!

If it's for your sig, though, you may want to resize it so that it's closer to DU rules. Dial-up people have probs with big file images.

I love it though...funny as hell! :-) :thumbsup:

30. I think it's 10K, 250 X 500

Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 04:29 PM by jchild

You can reduce file size by reducing image quality to medium. Not much to it.

Still, don't change to another image...that's so damned funny!

29. I have another question

Lately sometimes the graphics don't show up on people's posts. Right now they are not working so I didn't post. I just copied your directions into word. They all showed up in word. Is my computer set up crazy or is it DU?

31. If you post in plain text, images won't show up.

I posted in plain text a couple times above. Is that what you mean?

Sometimes you will get a red x instead of the image. That's because people have exceeded the bandwidth output on their hosting server.

This server, provided by a DUer, has not bandwidth limit, but a limit on the image size it will host. It's consistently the best free server I have used.

33. thanks...I'll check that out

My computer crashed trying to load all those above threads.
But now the pictures show up again by just restarting the computer.
Now I'll go try to follow some of your directions. Thanks so much for your time.
