Journey Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 It's hot here and I'd rather play on the PC than do housework....so, anyone out there that can help me (not with housework ) and tell me how you all get the collage of pictures in your signature?

Ninso Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 As I recall, I used "picnik" --a free online photo editing program to get the two pictures together in one image, then saved that image to my computer, then uploaded it to photobucket, then just copied the img code (or whatever you call it) into my signature line just like you would add photos to a post. Does that help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah, I tried all that. It keeps giving me an error message though something about IMG not being allowed in the dynamic code...I even tried all 4 options on the photobucket site to copy the pict.

Lizmo Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ninso, Picnik is on Flickr. Instead of having to upload the image to Picnik, then save it to your computer, then upload it to photobucket. . .you can upload the picture to a Flickr account, then edit right there, then save it to your Flickr account. Just might save you a step or two. btw, Flickr is sooo much easier than Photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninso Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Oh, really?! Thanks for the tip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizmo Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 No problem! Also, Flickr seems to be alot more organized than Photobucket. I used to use photobucket, but I'm now a flickr convert (if you can't tell, LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 (if you can't tell, LOL) Soooooo, tell me how to make the picture appear in my signature line! I've a Flikr account as well and still no picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryP Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 You are in the "Edit your signature" section of your profile, right? My signature includes a link to my website if you click on the picture, so it's a little different than just a picture. But, I did an experiment and removed the url stuff so that it was just a picture and it worked. My logo picture is on Photobucket and all I did was copy the link with the tags and posted it into the signature block and it worked. If you are doing that, then I'm not sure why it isn't working. It should work the same way as posting a photo does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizmo Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Soooooo, tell me how to make the picture appear in my signature line! I've a Flikr account as well and still no picture Are you wrapping the URL in the [/img] code when you are in the edit your signature part of your profile? Also, have you ever posted a picture using Flickr? It's different than photobucket and took me a while to finally figure out where the URL was.

Journey Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 OK, smack me with a wet noodle...I found the problem and fixed it! I had 2 IMG tags in the URL....now off to edit the size before everyone has a fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody & Duchess Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Journey - good question, but it must be really hot there, thats really avoiding housework. You really stuck with the issue, I'd have taken a nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anda Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Trying to see if it's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anda Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Alright, it is Journey - go to flickr, select picture - click on all sizes, select the size you want - I used small here for this example, and copy the url from the second option "2. Grab the photo's URL:" Then in the control panel - edit signature and insert picture in the same way you'd normaly insert it - click on the Insert Image icon and paste the url. It should work, even in 102 degrees ETA - if your question was specifically about collage instead of just how to insert a picture in the signature, I appologize. For that, yes, you can use http://www.picnik.com/ - actually going straight to their website and creating a free account allows you to use a lot more free features than if you'd try it straight from Flickr - and you can make a collage.

Dixie_Girl Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Anda, I add my thanks too! What I was NOT doing was hitting the "add picture" and seeing that the pop up was blocked! As soon as I allowed that, it was a snap! Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
