Originally posted by MorrAvatars are indeed stored on the forums servers, but Danno & Rick are trying to put a pic in the signature at the bottom of their posts. This requires that the picture be located elsewhere on the web for this forum to retrieve and display as required, ie the pic in my signature is located on one of my own websites, but displayed here.
As a non techy person it is not clear to me , there must be a reason . Server memory space or something ?
I will get this sorted one day , with you guys guiding me I am sure . Still got my internet provider to sort out .(we have covered that one quite well before).

With signitures however things are a little different, you are permitted to use coding to give your siggy a personnal or unique look, this entails looser controls over the code/formatting etc people use. One possible use of this ability to insert some code is to display a picture, (I'm sure many other uses could be devised). This is putting a picture in is a little more difficult than uploading an avatar.
The above are assumtions on my part, I'm sure one of the mods will correct me if I err.Maurice

Just noticed that HTML code is now switched off in the siggy screen plus we used to have a button to show all code in a window below the preview, which has dissapeared (perhaps when the forum recieved its upgrade). Any chance of getting these back ??Maurice

The images for siggys would be far to big if they were held on the forum sever. Imagine all the 1800 odd of us having images in our siggys the size of Morr's at 6269bytes ( how do I know that Morr?!) then you get 113.842 gigs of server space used. I think the maths is correct-ish.
Bear in mind Morr's image for example isn't even that big or very high resolution.
BTW I'm having problems with my dial-up modem which I have to use to upload to my webspace. I cant do it through my BBand ISP. Can anybody do a small FTP upload for me on dial-up if I give them the details?I NEED TO OFFROAD!

ermmmmm no, can't remember why we had to switch it off, but I think it was something to do with the upgrade and the way HTML could be used. Basically it had the potential to mess things up if we allowed it. Andy will remember why more exactly, but he's away at the mo.Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.
