Hi guys. I've gotten a few questions about how to make a sigpic (one today) and I've also seen a couple of threads about it.
I completely forgot that I had this, but I remembered today.
-----------------------
The following directions are for an unanimated sigpic. Read into your animation software's tutorial to learn more about how to animate.
<ul compact><b>What You'll Need</b><br>
Imaging Software (Photoshop, Paint, ect)<br>
Animation Software (optional)<br>
Pictures, Images, ect (optional)<br>
Idea</ul>
<ul compact><b>Free Hosts</b><br>
<a href="http://hometown.aol.com">AOL Hometown</a><br>
<a href="http://www.hostmysig.com">HostMySig.com</a></ul>
<ul compact><b>Free Random Image Hosts</b><br>
<a href="http://www.cgispy.com/">CGISpy.com</a><br>
<a href="http://www.hostedscripts.com">HostedScripts.com</a></ul>
First, open up your imaging software, and get prepared to start. At this point, you should have an idea towards what you are thinking about making. In a lot of instances, your sigpic will relate to your name (The member "ToiletPaper" would have a sig with toiletpaper). In many cases, people have images from the internet after doing a google search.<p>
I can't really explain to you how to create a picture... it's up to you. If you're new to your imaging program, try stuff out before you try to create anything further.<p>
After you create that picture, you should save it as a ".gif" or ".jpg" file. This is very important. Once your image is complete, you need to upload it to a host. I have listed 2 free hosts that support remote linking of images above. Once you have uploaded this sig, you must get the hyperlink (ie: http://www.yourhost.com/yourname/yoursig.jpg).<br>At this point, you should be logged into RF.net and be at your "Preferences" page. You should insert the following: YOUR IMAGE'S HYPERLINK into the "Signature" part of the page (which is towards the bottom of the page). That should do it. In the "Lounge", there should be a thread where you can test your sig out by posting and checking your post to see how it looks. If you need anymore help, the RF.net message board should be consulted.
----------------------------
I hope this helps any of you newbies, or anyone else who needs help. I could always take suggestions because I'm not the best at phrasing stuff right.
You'll see this on my site as soon as I get the time to update.
