How to...

[WillowIX]

Spirits, I took the liberty of downsizing your picture some. Here it is with pixels to spare. [img]smile.gif[/img] . You still need to host it yourself though.

OK now it works for you BUT it is too large! The allowed size is 155*225 pixels. Yours is 200*264. You need to downsize it!

To "host" means to upload the image to a provider that allows remote linking. You link to http://www.paradigm-ent.com in your sig (that's where your picture is on the net so to speak). What you do is you save the image to your hard drive, then you upload the image to the provider. Then you simply change to the new URL. If you can't host it yourself there are several nice people here on IW who can do it for you. I have a bandwidth limit on my hosting account and I'm already close to that limit.

Spirits forever, your sig pic is still too large. Please comply with the rules and reduce it. If you need help, I'm sure someone on GD can reduce it for you or show you how to do it yourself.

This is from the Rules and Regs (button near top of the forum)

Be Sig Smart: The larger your image in your sig, the longer it takes for others to load it. Don't forget, MANY people still use dial-up internet, and huge images take a LONG time to download. we allow the following as per signatures: We allow up to 2 Images in your sig. But, we prefer you use 1 or combine the 2 into one image. If you use 1 image in your signature, you are allowed the image resolution to be 225x155, and no more than 150Kb in size. This NEW Size will take effect on January 27th 2002. Anyone before that time will still be allowed to keep their slightly larger sig. If you wish to use 2 images, both images must be no larger than 280x220 combined in resolution, and 150Kb in size as well. Your text sig or 'tagline' must not exceed 300 characters as well. If you do not follow these rules, your profile may be edited, your image removed and account profile locked out to modification.
