Signature Idea

[Sideshow]

Why don't you choose a few of the pics that people did to advertise the site and put a sticky somewhere with info on how to promote this site by putting stuff in their sig?

 

ie, have the html code ready to copy and paste into your signature settings on other boards, like this one i just did:

<a href='http://digitalvertigo.co.uk'><img src='http://digitalvertigo.co.uk/uploads/av-8.jpg' width='130' height='35' border='0' alt="Digital Vertigo"></a>

 

when i paste that into my sig on other boards it is one of monkeys tags with a link here

it's simple but people might not want to mess about with html etc (might not even know how to)

if the code was there to c&p anyone could do it if they wanted

 

maybe put a choice of pictures for people to choose whichever they like

good idea sideshow thanks for the html

[Monkey-Hands]

Thats dope!!!

[Sideshow]

don't use that actual html though

it links to my avatar on here so if i delete or change it it will fuck up any sigs

A lot of sites allow BBCode in the sig but not HTML. The code you need is below, although you need to resize the image to the dimensions you need before uploading it somewhere: -

 

[ url=http://www.digitalvertigo.co.uk ][ img ]http://www.addressofsite.com/nameofimage.jpg[ /img ][ /url ]

 

There are some sites that use a slight variation on this where you need to use quotation marks with URL tags, in which case the code looks like this: -

 

[ url="http://www.digitalvertigo.co.uk" ][ img ]http://www.addressofsite.com/nameofimage.jpg[ /img ][ /url ]

 

Just remove the spaces within the square brackets to make it work.

Thanks!

there you go, that's what i was thinking, you should stick the code somewhere so people can see it easily

Some sites won't let you put spaces at the start of lines. If you want to put some text underneath the pic (as in my example) and use spaces to align it then hold down ALT and type 0160 on the number pad. This inserts a non-displaying space character and will get round the no space rule.
