Cheats on Forums

So I was asking Lighty, and I was sort of wondering what those things that most people have on the bottom of their message. She told me it was a signature, and then I asked her how do you create one. She answered that she didn't know. So I was thinking, maybe some people would just go on this forum and have the same thought. Are we allowed to make a thread that helps people to create one? It just doesn't have to be just signatures. It could be everything from signatures itself to smiley symbols (even though it's on the side).

To make a signature shouldn't be too hard. If you go to your profile, there is a tab that says signature. They you use available code and text to make it.

Thanks.

*coughs* I never said I didn't know! *coughs*

And plus, how can I be a founder of a forum without knowing that? And second, I've been on tons of forums and I definitely know how to put a siggy in my post.

Also, you have a signature! If you didn't know how, you wouldn't have one. I was wondering about that.

*shakes head* ELFFFFF IS WEIRD BECAUSE SHE'S MY SISTER.

Most likely, like how all sisters respond to each other is just saying I don't know even though they didn't hear the question. And since I'm the oldest out of the three, it's usually what I say. Maybe that's why there was some confusion.

Ha! Like that's possible. You completely ignore me every time you're on the computer. You're addicted. I bet you can't stay away from 1 forum for 1 1/2 weeks.

that may be true, but lets get back on topic.

about the "full tutorial"... we need to find some people to undertake it if they want, I am sure I could provide assistance but I could not do all of it.

Drag~

I can help to if this becomes a problem. But usually members should ask the staff about questions about the forum. So I don't think it's necessary.

I don't think it would be entirely wasteful. I would just split it into two topics: 1) How to make a coded sig (e.g. like drag has with the name and such) 2) How to make a graphic sig (like the one Sio has)

Edit: Oh, and I would add the possibility to view a signature of a user in their profile

Oh true. It could be like tutorial kind of thing.

That would be nice. Anyway, I tried to make a signature, but it's still not working.

What did you type, and you confirmed it?

I...forgot what I typed exactly. Actually, I know I typed something about nature (my user name!). I know I confirmed it, though.

Did you accidentally press 'Preview' instead of Confirm?

EDIT: I looked at your profile -- you forgot to press 'Always attach my signature'. I did it for you already.

Well, no one said to do that. This is exactly why I made this thread. Also, I still don't get how to put an image on the end of it, let alone a graphic image.

Do you see the button when you post that says "Image"? Not the "Host an Image" That button will add "image" and "/image" with surrounding brackets onto the textbox. Put your URL inbetween the two. Make sure it's the page with nothing but the image. If it's on your computer, you'll have to use Photobucket or Imageshack.

Er...I don't know half of what you typed there. Sorry. I think I lost it after "'image' and '/image' with the surrounding brackets onto the textbox".

Ok...I'll put it here, but with added spaces.

Maybe a code would help?

Ex.

Code:

[img]insert url here[/img]

Basically find the "image" button, when you press that, this should appear.

Code:

[img][/img]

Then just insert the image url in between the brackets.

And just for the case you don't know what's URL, it's the

Code:

http://www.something.somethingother

thing
In FireFox, you get it by right-clicking the image and selecting the option that's like Copy picture adress or something like that

Exactly. I never new that code button existed...

^Now you know Sio.

I only know about code buttons because there's some technicalish people I know at AFC.

What's a code button?

That's the fifth button from the left:
Bold, Italica, Underline, Quote and Code
It basically disables any tags, commands which might appear in the message
for example if you write

Code:

<b></b>

by itself, it does something like this, but with code:

Code:

[b]this[/b]
