How To Upload a Signature/Sigpic/Banner - Now Idiot Proof

Since I've recently been deluged with pleads for help on how to upload a signature image, here it is, in one easy post.

Step One: Find the picture you want, and save it to your computer. Keep in mind that the size max is 400 pixels wide by 100 pixels high, with a size limit of 35 kilobytes. My example will be this stupid sig made in about 10 seconds, using google and Adobe Photoshop.



Step Two: Host your signature image by going to this site. Click on browse, which is demonstrated in the below photo.

ADMIN EDIT: Note that this step is completely unnecessary.



Once you hit browse, a popup will come up, and display your files. Find the correct file, and select it, then hit okay.

Step Three: Now, go to User CP, which is located in the top bar of Oddworld Forums. When the bar drops down after you click on it, click edit signature.

Step Four: Okay, it's getting hard now, but stay with me. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and follow the next instructions in the following images.



Now, once you've done that, click 'Save Signature'. Scroll back down, and then follow these last two instructions.








CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE JUST SUCCESFULLY UPLOADED YOUR IMAGE SIGNATURE! WOOHOO!

(Disclaimer: This guide was made assuming you are using the full interface for OWF, not the lame one that only lets you alter text effects like bold, italic, underline, and size. If you do not have full interface set and don't know how to turn it on despite numerous searching in the user CP, follow the following instructions)

Step One: Run down to the nearest firearms store, and apply for a gun liscene.

Step Two: Receive said liscene an unknown number of days later.

Step Three: Return to gun shop, and purchase a Colt .357 magnum. Purchase an appropriate box of shells.

Step Four: Return to your home, and load the Colt.

Step Five: Place barrel against forehead, make sure gun is loaded, make peace with any gods you have.

Step Six: Pull trigger, and rid the world of a menace.

But, really. Thanks to Salamander, I don'thave to waste time typing it myself.

:
Click on User CP then click on Edit Options. Scroll down to the bottom until you see a big box which is called Miscellaneous Options then find a section called Message Editor Interface and change the tab to Enhanced Interface. Then follow Mitsur's instructions.
Thank you for reading my guide. I hope you've had a nice day and saved me a headache.

Dude, brilliant work. But you can upload your sigpic directly to OWF. No need to use ImageShack or any similar service.

Thank yea, oh kind Mitsur. Now I have something to point to when people send me PMs asking why their sigs aren't working.

Dear old member with basic interface, click on User CP then click on Edit Options. Scroll down to the bottom until you see a big box which is called Miscellaneous options then find a section called Message Editor Interface and change the tab to Enhanced Interface. Then follow Mitsur's instructions of inserting your signature.
How to change your interface. Now no one has to ask.

Heh. I had Max set my interface up for me. If I had had this guide back in the day, it would have been so much simpler.

But getting a gun license is almost impossible here in the UK.

I'd make a joke about inventing a better idiot, but it's just way too easy.

Well, seeing as this technique is - quote unquote - idiot proof, if you couldn't do it then you mustn't be an idiot.

You've only got yourself to blame, the original post clearly lays out the method. The only way you could screw this up is if you didn't read all the instructions.

Oh, please. Just edit pictures and fit several in your sig. There's plenty of them.
