How do I upload a Banner in my sig?

Forum Forum Feedback : Test Posts How do I upload a Banner in my sig?

Word :    Username :           
 

I'd like to know how to upload a banner into my sig. My banner is 399 x 74 28KB

I thought it might be like [img]URL From imageshack[/img] into >manage my profile>Forum options> signature. But that didn't seem to work, when I click apply its says my profile has been updated but the url I just put into my sig box has disappeared. :heink:

So could someone explain to me how its done, Thanks.

Did you check the box underneath to 'apply signature'?

See the similar thread here.

If you aren't using Firefox, and aren't in the US section, that could be part of the problem. The UK section has issues, and the site is designed to render the best in Firefox.

The site has issues, is a huge understatement.

Anyway in the link you posted a poster said "Just make sure they are all one one line... Meaning no enter key to start a new line or anything". This is impossible, it just won't let me have [img]imageshackURL[/img] in one line

If I have [img] in the first line, it'll force the URL and [/img]to the second line.

Honestly, whoever is the web designer at Tom's needs to be sacked, The website never render's properly. On the website it says I have only 8 best answers in the graphic & displays section even though I have an E-mail from Tomshardware saying I have 10...

I'll give up with this banner thing... More trouble than its worth.

What he meant by the one line thing is to avoid using line breaks. Having the text in the textbox wrap around isn't an issue because it won't necessarily do that in your actual sig. Line breaks should be fine in theory (aford10 has one after all). I would try logging into http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ and doing it. You'll have more luck with everything on the US site, if indeed you already use the UK site.

 

As for the badge count inconsistency, it's likely a UK/US issue again. Some badges are tracked simultaneously on both sites while some (mostly section-specific ones) are tracked only on the site that you get them on.

Interesting. I often have issues with people posting imageshack links where the image never shows, so that may have been one of those times. I personally prefer photobucket, it just seems to work better.

When I originally looked at the imageshack link, the image was fine. So I'm betting that the issue was the UK server.
