Wtf, my post was there, then I refreshed, then it was gone, so I reposted and then it's back again. Sorry for the double post!

Nice stuff Catch!

I also threw in the Beau, if you want it moved from behind the text, let me know!

Thanks! The Beau looks great! Yes I think it would be better if it was moved from behind the text. {it can still overlap the carrier a bit, that's fine.}

Is there any way to keep the colour on the text? or does it always get washed out as well?

 

[Njaco]

Center his name and put the Beau off the starborad there and it might work.

Freebird, google for a program called "Gimp". Its similar to Photoshop, its free and its not half bad. The fonts are horrible but its a start. At least I can learn without worrying about how much I spent to get a useless program.

 

[Catch22]

I can certainly make those changes when I am off my iPod, and I will see if I can keep the colour in the text, but I'm not sure if I can.

 

[trackend]

If Freebird posts the components separately on a plain background would it not make it fairly straight forward?

 

[Wurger]

Maybe something like these.

 

[Freebird]

Maybe something like these.

Thanks so much Wurger! I'm going to use one of these. What program do you use? Is it photoshop?

Edit: I tried to save the image direct from my computer, it says "invalid file", I also tried pasting the URL, but that doesn't work either.

What am I doing wrong?

 

[Wurger]

Hi,

Yes I use Photoshop.It is very nice application.You aren't doing anything wrong.Simply the server doesn't like the way you have tried to set the siggy.

Here you are a short pictoral tutorial about how to set your siggy.I hope it is clear and will help you to set your own siggy.Follow it please.Ah... by the way, the pic should be uploaded somehere here on the forum.These four are here, use one of them.

 

[Njaco]

The image might be a tad too large. I think that was why flyboy's didn't load at first.

 

[Wurger]

Yes,you can be right.According to a caption below the place in Edit Signature option where a pic from your own HDD can be chosen, it should be of 500x100 pixels maximum.Therefore I use the way of setting described above.In the case the forum system lets set a pics in size of 599 pixels horizontally.When 600 pixels and more the system adds a bar " small-large " at the top of each pictures.I'have set one of Freebird'd ones as a example.Can you see?

 

[Wurger]

Hi again,

I have checked your thiught.Unfortunately I was unable to upload any pics at all.I have resized a pic to a size as the instruction syggested and nothing.I have gotten a pic of 200x97 pixels and at size 18,4 kB what is less than it is suggested and even then I couldn't upload it. So I think that the system doesn't like the way of setting a siggy.

That's what i was thinking too, because it wouldn't work for me either. has anyone else uploaded a siggy lately? How did it work?

 

[Lucky13]

Works for me buddy as you can see.....

 

[Njaco]

My question in the Modeling section has just been answered.

 

[Wurger]

Jan, have you used the option of siggy setting form your HDD in Edit Signature or you used the second way of setting?

 

[Lucky13]

I downloaded the pic to the computer, then to photobucket and used it from there Wojtek...

 

[Wurger]

So it seems that a path to a folder is the key.Possible, I have to check it.What is the name of the photobucket server?

 

[Lucky13]

Image hosting, free photo sharing video sharing at Photobucket

 

[Wurger]

THX . So you used an URL address from the site.But have you tried to use a pic saved on your own HDD for setting a siggy?
