Moving around the board is pretty easy. There is a grait
HELP video in the top banner. It is to the far left of the
Log In section.
AVATARS , BANNERS and SIGNATURES
If you want to
change your avatar, signature, banner or settings then
just click on your name anywhere on the board and
a new window will show up.
Click on MODIFY PROFILE and all the settings and
windows will show up that ask for avatar urls and
signatures.
Banners are what go in your signature line. They run
on the bottom of your posts and should not be extreme.
large oversized banners make it hard for people viewing
on smaller monitors and laptops.
My banner is about as tall as they should be made and
the width is perfect. If you make a banner that is large
it takes away from the message and reading area.
Please don't make banners that are real tall and take
over the message window. They should run along
the bottom of your posts and I would like to see
some of your artwork down there that is unique
for those that have an artistic touch.
The quick directions for posting banners in your signature line
Simple way to do it is post it in your MESSAGE just like
you would a picture in between the brackets.
1. hit the picture button
2. PASTE the banner URL in between the brackets.
3. DO NOT HIT POST REPLY
4. COPY the entire new banner url with brackets on the ends.
5. PASTE the entire new url with brackets into your signature.
That should do it.
POSTING PICTURES IN YOUR MESSAGE
If you try to post a picture that is too large the board
may not show it. When you get a host site for your
picture the size that seems to be working for me is
800 x 600. you can post larger pics but if they
don't show up then that is the reason.
To post a picture on this forum you go to the message
window where you write in your text and replies.
There is a section above the smile icons that has
a small picture in a frame. If you click on this a set
of brackets will apear in the message window.
Paste the URL / internet address of the photo
you wish to post between the brackets.![]()
[/img]
This is the code that allows your photo to show up.
If you want to add a banner to your signature then
just add those same brackets at the begining and
end of the URL / address in your signature and post
this into your profile under signature.
You can post it here and add the brackets and then
copy and paste the entire text into your signature line
in your profile.
If you are practicing with codes in the reply / message
window then just hit preview to make sure your code
is working. You don't have to post the message on
the board to test it.
Avatars are the pictures that go next to your user name.
To post an avatar you just need to get the URL or address
of the photo from the internet and PASTE it into your profile
section where it says AVATAR URL.
You will most likely need to get a host site for your avatars
and pictures. Tinypic is working great and imageshack
lets you copy pictures straight from the internet url.
These are FREE picture hosting sites. Photobucket will also work.
tinypic.com/
imageshack.us/
Your avatar size setting must be made to 100 x 100 h/w
or else the board will shrink them down to 65x65
If you need help with this just ask and I will get to you
as soon as I can.
More to come.
