Deleting My Sig Pic?? (why?) 1 Month ago  
Ok so now I am confused as to why my sig pic got deleted? It is smaller then the required size. It said it is larger then 50kb and that is why you deleted it. There are several others on here that are bigger then 50kb. Sorry to point out but one is an administrator. His is 61kb.

Re:Deleting My Sig Pic?? (why?) 1 Month ago  
This is the instructions I got from a post .

GRAM wrote:
For those that are thinking of adding sigpics to their posts:

Sigpics need to be jpg's for best effect.

They should not exceed 450 pixels wide, and in consideration of folks who use dial up connections to access the clinic, they should not be larger than about 50 to 60 kb in filesize.

We are looking for a reasonable place on the internet for folks to resize their pics, if anyone knows of a place, please post the location in this thread.

You will need to upload your appropriately sized sigpic to a webserver somewhere. This can be your personal webspace allocated to you by your isp if you have that available. We suggest you try accessing it all by itself to be sure it can be loaded that way. The address to your pic should be some thing like this - http://yourdomain.com/yoursiggpic.jpg . Be sure the last thing on the address is ".jpg" or alternatively ".gif" or ".png" if those are all you have available to you for image creation.

Once you have your sig uploaded to your webspace, try loading it into your brower by typing its address into your browser's search or address bar. You should see a page that has nothing in it (no text unless it is IN your sig) except your sig in the upper left hand corner.

After testing your sig, log into the clinic and come here into the forum. At the top of the page, just below our Logo in the header, you will see a small link to "Forum Settings". Click there to get into your personal settings for the forum. From there pic the "Forum Settings Info", then you will see a rectangle near the bottom that is labeled "signature".

It is limited to 300 characters, but that should be more than enough to build a reasonable sig for your posts. You can type any text you want in there, and add your sigpic. It will automatically be added to every post you create in the forum.

To add your sig, start by clicking on the "Img" button located above the signature field. This will add two bracketed commands that will tell the forum software that an image is in between them. In between the two brackets put the full address to your picture (ie: start with http://) for example http://yourdomain.com/picture.jpg. Inside the bracket you can also add a size parameter. You should set this to equal the width (in pixels) of your sigpic. for example I use "size=450" for mine (no quotes, I just put them here to separate the part I want you to see).

You can also add a link to your website (if you want to) by using the same methodology and the "URL" button. Again be sure to use a complete address that starts with "http://". This will create a clickable link folks can use to access your website.

Be sure to save your work before leaving the "Forum Settings" screen.

This will create a sig field that will automatically be added to all of your posts. It will also be added to any existing posts that precede your creation of your signature.

Here is an example of correct sigpic code (drop all '*'s they are just there to make this readable):

[*img\]http://yourdomain.com/yoursigpic.jpg[/img]

or if you need to resize your pic (resizing to 450 pixels wide):

[*img size=450\]http://yourdomain.com/yourtoobigsig.jpg[/img]

If you edit it at some point, all your posts (again, even ones that existed before the edit) will be changed to the edited version.

Please post any questions here.

Thanks Guys,

GRAM

Re:Deleting My Sig Pic?? (why?) 1 Month ago  
Mine got canned because I was in it, I think we are both former Marines TOPNOTCH, and i am the better looking one, so that has me stumped for a few months, ADMIN said i had to be hiding behind the bike or out of the picture, that the bike had to be the focus of the picture, not my ugly azz. So I re-submitted one of Schatzie in a skimpy biker outfit, no go on that also. Only what you see below was approved. You know Marine, we don't make the rules but we follow them. Ten HUT! Ship shape! Get er done! MC

This is what firefox is showing me Mike:
67.12 KB (68729 bytes)

Thats over the 50k limit. If your talking about my sig, I know its too large. I am going to claim an exception until I can get some time to fix it.

Gram

Edit note: I just checked mine and its under the limit. I must have fixed it and forgot about it.

Re:Deleting My Sig Pic?? (why?) 1 Month ago  
One more note. You posted a very old post of mine (the instructions). We changed the allowed filesize to 50k some time ago, and the post announcing the change has been living in a link in our forum announcements for months now. It is at the top of the forum list in its own block called 'announcements' whenever you go to the main forum page.

I am certain you have seen it. I just checked Doc's and his is below 50k as well.

Which admin were you talking about?

"Sorry to point out but one is an administrator. His is 61kb."

I checked the admins and Mods pics. This is what I got.

Gram - 21.8
Doc - 49.8
RoadieFF - 23
Flashback - 39.8
Big Bear - 22.6
Musky - 43.8

Please point out which one I made a mistake on. We'll get it fixed..

Re:Deleting My Sig Pic?? (why?) 1 Month ago  
Can only do a quick reply for some reason. Sorry guys it was a typo error in my first post. I meant 51kb not 61. No I am not mad about it I was just wondering. By the way I am getting 51kb for the red bike in the tall grass. LOL I think the Gentleman lives in canada. OSO
