Signature images

[Laramie]

I've just been trying to upload a picture to my signature, but it keeps saying "Invalid URL". I was wondering if it only took certain file extensions - it's a png file and some things don't take it - or if there's something I'm doing wrong :mrgreen:

Just to check.. you are using option 2, rather than option 1?

[Laramie]

Option 2 is for an image from your computer :s I'm using the other one...

[Michelle]

So you're trying to use an image from a website? Try saving the image to your computer, then uploading it from there.

[Laramie]

I don't think it'll work because it changes every time you refresh the page, but I'll have a go....It probably won't change though.

[Laramie]

hmm...It's a little small haha
It won't change either...

[Michelle]

Change? Do you mean it's animated on the website?

[Laramie]

It's not animated, but it's supposed to change every time you refresh the page into a different quote.

It could be that you haven't copied over a compatible link - e.g. my sig at the moment updates daily as a count-down, but there were several choices of links (if I remember correctly) and I had to choose which one would work with the forum.

[Michelle]

All you'll be able to save is a single image.. there's probably some sort of code on the page that changes it every time.

Let us know the link to the page if you want?

[Laramie]

http://www.artemis-fowl.com/fun_signatures.php It's on that page.
Or the actual link is http://nindra.artemis-fowl.net/phppng/afsig.png

It IS an animated image.. and I have a feeling that they're not allowed on here.

[Laramie]

Oh....okay.
haha thanks for your help anyway :)

It's not animated its a php script that changes the image on refresh, I have a similar script for avatars (Which also does not work on here).

however if you wish to make your own for other sites you can follow this guide:
