How To Add A Sig-Pic To Your Name

[Oldman]

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"><b>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.</b><hr noshade size="1">


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



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. <font color="red"><b>HERE</b></font id="red">

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

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


Now the next question might be, <b>"I have an image but it is on my hard drive. How can I use it?"</b> E-mail 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.

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

Once the URL is enter into your <b>Signature</b> 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.

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:
