OK QUICK QUESTION, GIBS WAS KIND ENOUGH TO MAKE ME A SIG, WITH the pictures of my ride from the last cruise we had, i saved the sig to my comp, i went to user cp to edit my sig, i tried to copy the pic and paste but it would not let me, so i went to profile picture and uploaded it and theyre it is, but it says it will come up when viewing my profile, how do i get it for my sig ???

You can upload to Wickedstangs from the bottom of the Edit Signature page. I choose not to so there are less files on Wickedstangs and it doesnt affect our server costs and such for the hosting. I choose to host my images and files at Photobucket.com. This example is based on using Photobucket.com. Most of the hosting site are about the same, you just might have to search for your IMG Code on the page. But it will be there.....Hope this helps all.

1. goto photobucket.com or any hosting site(Car Domain, fileplanet, etc)
2. then set up an account.
3. once you do that, you have to upload the pic from your computer.
4. when it is uploaded click on the pic until it is at 100% view.
5. Goto the IMG COde text box and follow the example:

CopyingIMGCode.jpg


6. Now go back to Wickedstangs and continue to add your pic to your signature...
7. There are 2 ways to add a picture to your signature. First you have to pull up the "Edit Signature" page. This can be found under Quick Links while you are logged into WS's...

EditSigDropDown.jpg


8. Next you will need to use one of the 2 ways of adding your picture to the signature.

If you have writing added to your signature use the first one. If you just want the picture then use the second example.

Example #1:
ReplacingIMGcodeway.jpg


Example #2:
SigPic2.jpg



10. After this save your signature at the bottom.
11. It should be at the bottom of your posts now.

Good luck.


Gib

Hope that helps.

You entered it as a link not a pic. use the button that has the mountain looking thing on it.

IMG]http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc126/881mike/GOONIESRIDE.jpg[/IMG


Put that in your sig and test it.....should work. You will have to add the brackets to the beginning and the end of it.You have to stop copying the address at the .jpg

I did not add that in.

Sorry.
