Right, this may sound stupid...

Actually i'm fairly certain that it will...

But how d'you put all the cute little pictures at the bottom of your messages...
And how do I change this thingy at the side? It's boring because everyone has one, except a few...

Oh yeah and how can I put smileys in the middle of my message? I'm having a real time with that one too... I worked out a whole 5 all by my self... See...:

And what's worse... I think it's an achievement... kind of... almost... Lol


Cheers.

Don't mind johnny, he's... well, he's just that way... not born that way, because the incident happened after birth, but that way still. Best not to ask questions about the incident.
Our most illustrious Graphics Library has all the possible smiley faces, cartoons, mini-images and whatnots, and they're quite easy to use. Like this [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/matrix.gif[/img]
As for the pictures in the bottom of your messages, you need to find the picture you want on the internet(or put it there yourself via picture-hosting sites like ImageShack), and link to it in the signature using "["img"]", the link here, "["/img"]", without the "s. Imageshack will provide this form in one of it's address lines after upload.

Hey....mine was also supposed to be helpful, all he had to do was quote me, and he'd have an idea how to put an image in his posts. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

robertthebard 05-08-2006 08:39 PM

Maybe, but nobody quotes you...We don't want to get in trouble with the mods... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Winterfell, the Avatar (the pic to your left) is an Ironworks avatar, you cannot replace it with one of your own.

But you can put in your own picture at the bottom of your posts (your "sig"). You have to host the pic you want somewhere, and insert it into the "signature" part of your Profile, using [IMG]tags.

Speaking of avatars, mine just changed. Thank the heavens it wasn't the Locke one! I thought it would be! Whew! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Welcome to the forums Winterfell, fan of A song of Ice & Fire? :D

That's at 8500, LZ. Only 498 to go. ;)

Welcome to Ironworksforum, Winterfell!

Cloudbringer 05-09-2006 10:12 AM

<H1> <font color="pink">WELCOME TO IRONWORKS, WINTERFELL!</font> </H1>

Looks like you've got your answers about images and smilies already! To put the smiley where you want it, just put the cursor where you'd like to have it and plug in the code from the graphics library.

And don't worrry about being new, we all were new to forums at one time or another. You'll catch on fast and everyone here's pretty helpful. Well, except johnny, he bites... :D :D ;) ...of course that's only if you try to take his beer.... :D

Actually he's that way because an incident happened 9 months before his birth...

Winterfell 05-09-2006 12:21 PM

Yep, I'm pretty set on being stupid.

Despite you're explanation Bozos of Bones, I still can't sus the whole picture URL thingy... I went to that website and the only one I could find in the format you said was

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5858/evilbaby9wa.jpg

and that doesn't fit in the slot in my profile [img]graemlins/whome.gif[/img] So I'm assuming I've misinterpretted you somewhere along the way, Could you prettend I'm even thicker than you originally thought I was and give it another go... Maybe with an example, or tell me how many down from the top the one I ought to be looking at in image shack is... Or if I should be editting this bad boy or some such?

Oh, and thanks so far guys.

Lol, I was wondering when someone woud clock the whole winterfell thingy, it was either that or Morpheus and Dreams etc... but I use that picture for everything! I'm beginning to wish I'd gone for something from Steven Erikson now for obscurities sake...

Winterfell 05-09-2006 12:22 PM

Oh crap I didn't expect that to happen!

Ok how do I get it in my signature though...?

Stratos 05-09-2006 12:29 PM

Click on my profile at the top of the screen (below the "New Topic" button) and click on View/update Profile on the left. Put the signature picture in the Signature box.

ZFR 05-09-2006 12:44 PM

Put the code in the place where you have "Winter is soming"

Make sure you resize it though... its too big for the <a href=http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/noncgi/rules.html>Rules and Regulations</a>

Winterfell 05-09-2006 08:37 PM

WOO HOO!! It worked thanks guys.

Is this small enough? So what does the picture part of my profile do? That's where I was trying to cram all that stuff and it wouldn't fit...


Thanks everyone for all your help.

:D

Sir Goulum 05-10-2006 12:05 AM

It just shows a picture when you look in the persons profile.

And that kid is gonna give me nightmares. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

JoChn 05-10-2006 12:56 AM

Hehe. The same question I set a few post ago... (I think it's in "Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion") ;]

Stratos 05-10-2006 08:26 AM

Makes me think of the old "V" sci-fi series.

Winterfell 05-10-2006 10:28 AM

I dunno I think he's quite cute... In an evil sort of way. :D
