I see everyone has some piccys under their posts but me !!

How do i do this please ? I have the PC know how of a piece of seaweed, so if its complicated would one of you 'boffins' be able to do it for me ?

I haven't got a piccy yet, but will take some this weekend ! :rolleyes:

Many thanks in advance ...

You can insert a sig-pic by using the Image button above the text box....
You will then have to give the URL of the required image.
The images are not on mbclub, they are 'called in' from other sites.
Look at someone elses sig-pic, RIGHT-CLICK > PROPERTIES and see the URL of said pic.
 
Its not tricky.
What you need to do is stick the pic you want as a footer on the mbclub ftp server:

ftp://poundhost.co.uk
user: mbclub
pwd: mbclub123

Once they are up there you just need to add a line to your signature with
 
:confused: huh ?

Sounds like its easier to send a monkey to Pluto .....

When i get a piccy Mambo, can you do it for me please ?

EDIT : clicked on link, it says Windows cannot access this server.... No Anonymous access allowed ???? :confused:

No worries I will do it for you.

As for the anonymous access thing, open the link in a windows explorer window. Right click on the right hand side pane and it should allow you to enter the log on details.....
 
Howard,

to add an image to your signature add a line like this
http://www.poundhost.com/mbclub-file/your picture.jpg[img]

the advice below is how to get a picture hosted on mbclub so that you can refer to it in the way above

open a browser window eg Internet Explorer
type [url]ftp://poundhost.co.uk/[/url] in the address bar
accept any errors shown
click File, then Login As
enter mbclub as the username
enter mbclub123 as the password
you will see a directory of files
find a picture you like on your machine and drag / drop it into the mbclub directory or
find a piccie on the internet, save it to your machine and do the above

good luck

Depends what you are using to get to it? Are you using windows explorer?
If so, just right click and go to "New...Folder"
Yes, but it says I don't have permissions to rename it....
or delete New Folder
 
Yeah you cant make changes (rename, delete, etc), once you create it. You need to name it as soon as its created.

NO, won't let me name it at creation time.
Can a MOD please remove all the New Folders and create a PJH folder for me. TA

Create a folder on your desktop. Call it whatever you need too, then drag it into the broswer window that is logged into the FTP server :)

Hope this helps,
Michele

EDIT: Come to think of it, I've made a PJH folder for you :D

EDIT2: I was wondering, what is a "reasonable" size for the signature image? is the 167x127pixels considered a good standard?

I've had the same problems about creating a folder. It allows me to create it, but not rename (even as soon as i create) or delete it
 
If people want to post pics and are having difficulty. I am quite prepared to host your pic for you. All you will need to do then is copy the pic url and post it as has been specified above.

Hi Mad,
create it on your own pc and rename it. Then copy the (madferrit) folder to the mbclub server. cheers.
 
Blassberg, Superb! i did it!

Now my only question, is ...

Can I not have a .gif file as my sig picture? Wanted something with a little "animation" rather than a static pic
