|
|
I tried to link to an avatar image I have hosted on villagephotos but it said it was 'invalid' for some reason. Is there some special code I need to use to get it to work?
Also - can I put an image (v.small, I promise) in my sig? And can I put a link in my sig and how do I do that?
Thanks. ) |

The problem with the Avatars is due to a new firewall on the server. I'm speking with the tech guys about how to get around this problem.
This page should help you with putting links and stuff in your sig - we don't advertise it on that page as the very first person who used it for a sig placed a huge image so I took it out. _________________ Rob

| Thanks. Will check out the page. Would you be able to let us know when /if the avatar problem gets sorted? I will add one of yours for now, but would quite like my own Boz pic if I can. Not a problem if I can't though. |

| Why isn't this working? As you can see the link is working fine, but the image isn't even though (as far as I can tell) I have done the BBcode correctly. Is this the same server firewall problem as with the avatar (both this image and the avatar are on my villagephotos account)? If the latter than I will delete this part of my sig and just leave the link till it can be sorted out. |

Hopefully all working now (so long as the filename doesn't involve a space). Let me know how you get on. _________________ Rob

Thanks! Working wonderfully now. Hurrah. Just want to see if the image in my sig is working now.... *crosses fingers*
EDIT - ok the avatar is working now, but I still can't get that image to show up in my sig. What am I doing wrong? *very confused* |

Nothing - there was one user that decided to add a HUGE picture inside her signature. So we disabled it. And that was a good while ago.

Ahhhh! Ok. I misunderstood - thought you could still put images in sigs it was just you didn't tell people about it. Ok. Understand now. Soz for the confusion.
