Moer, I have been trying for 2 hours and can't get an image onto my signature.
I uploaded photos to photobucket, right clicked, copy shortcut, pasted between brackets and get this: It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.
What now?
Also how does one include these Smilies in your message body?

Thank you!

Forgot to mention photo is resized to 120 x 70 pixels. Very small.

nice Cassie

and here I thought you had to prep a Photoshop collage .....


is it possible to upload the photos straight from your local hard drive ??

Chris, the signature pics are not stored on the site database, so if one were able to upload direct of your local drive, your signature pics would be missing if you were not on line.

Ian, what program are you using to re-size your images? It could be that the actual size doesn't correlate with the reported size, ...... Cassie can help you more with the reasons for the error.

IRO the smilies, they appear as BB codes in the message composition text box .... the actual smiley images appear in the posted text.

Please post the link to your photo here so I can have a look and see why it's giving you hassles

I am using microsoft office (2010) picture software.

It will then automatically add the image tags etc. It should then look something like this :


Which in his case is this picture:


Regarding the smileys, while you are editing a post you will see smileys to the left like I see now


Once you click on one of them, it will insert code that represents the smiley, something like

Which is this character

Only once you submit the post will it show the actual character.

Thank you. I will keep trying.

It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.
dis my boodskap, is my prentjies te groot?

dit gebeur partykeer.

Gebruik dan eerder die tags

in plaas van die

OK, just proved to be blond/stupid/old/techno disadvantaged.
Cas, wat se deel van photo bucket plaas ek nou tussen die[img][img] goeter? copy ek die URL of drag ek net die foto? ek voel nou soos n D dubbel o s

Dankie Cassie,

nou is ek ook n bietjie slim..

As jy foto 800x600 of kleiner is kan jy net hier in photobucket click:


As hy dan vir een of ander rede kla dat hy nie die dimensies van die photo kan bepaal nie dan delete jy die lyntjie wat jy gepaste het, en gaan click op die "Direct Link" blokkie in photobucket.

Dan voor jy hom paste, dan click jy die [img_resize] knoppie net bo die wit blok waar jy besig is om te tik. Die stelsel sal dan die twee [img_resize] tags paste in jou wit blok. Kliek dan jou mui cursor presies tussen die twee tags en paste daai "direct link"

Iets soos die
