Title: How To Add A Sig-Pic To Your Name
Post by: Oldman on February 27, 2005, 05:55:31 PM

I recieved the following E-mail today from one of our members. Rather than just reply to him I figured there maybe others members here who also would like to know the answer.

<hr noshade size="1">How do you get the moving icons as part of a BS post. I saw the moving smilies, very cool. I want to add one to my name when I post. Any help appreciated.<hr noshade size="1">

There are 5 simple steps in doing this.
1.) Click on Profile at the top right hand side of this posting board.
2.) Enter your Password.
3.) Enter the URL address of the animated gif file you wish to use in the Signature option. (See HERE in the image below.)
4.) Make sure your Signature Check Box is YES.
5. Click on Submit

Now if you don't have an animated gif but would like to have one to use I have a couple of pages that you can pick from. HERE (http://www.dow-mgc.org/smilies/index.html)

The next question might be "How do I get the URL address of a ani-gif file."

This is a simple two step process.
1.) Right click on the Image and then left click on Properties.
2.) High-light the URL address and copy it. Then paste the URL address into your Signature option as shown above.

Now the next question might be, "I have an image but it is on my hard drive. How can I use it?" E-mail (//[email protected]) to me your image you wish to use and I will host it for you. I will then send back to you the URL address of your image.

Note: If you find an image on the net, don't hot-link it into your Signature option. Save it to your hard drive then
E-mail (//[email protected]) it to me, and I will host it for you.

Once the URL is enter into your Signature option all future postings will automatically have that ani-gif at the bottom of your postings.

Now if you just want to add an ani-gif file only one time then see the first part of this Thread (http://www.bradleysmoker.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1166).

Now one last thought. If you want your name i.e. Your Name next to the ani-gif file then add you name with one space before you add the url address. It will show up like this:
