Using photos as your signatures

[gypsycaine]

I was part of a now-gone board here.  I remember I worked around and could get my name, a small quote in text, and then an image as all part of my signature that was placed on each of my postings. 

If anyone can help me, I've got an image: oldwiki.mindseyesociety.org/images/d/de/Charlie_brown_and_snoopy-1658.jpg

but I can't get it to post properly as I want it.

The code I'm using is:

insert code here

“Kill your darlings, kill your darlings, even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler’s heart, kill your darlings.”

(Dot after quote and after img on purpose because it wouldn't post right!}

You link seems to be linking to the web page. Try this:

[quote]“Kill your darlings, kill your darlings, even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler’s heart, kill your darlings.”
~Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft [/quote]

[img src="http://oldwiki.mindseyesociety.org/images/d/de/Charlie_brown_and_snoopy-1658.jpg" alt="Snoopy"]

I would however, suggest you either upload that image to your own host or upload it into your themes images section. Another suggestion, make sure you can use that image as it has some sort of copyright on the image. I didn't search the page to see what they say about using their images.

Thanks. I'm a part of the org and I've used them for hosting (and wiki-making) before. I appreciate the help. Now I go to try the code!

Works perfect so it seems (I did a preview--fingers crossed preview = real time). Thank you!

Awww, I kind of had a feeling that might be the case. Thanks for explaining.

Not sure if you changed it here on ProBoards but I'm just getting the box with an x and the alt name showing (Currently viewing in IE). If it is working for you then maybe it is my laptop. Also, I do know that image exceeds our width/height rules here on ProBoards: Our rules: 500px width by 300px height   ....and your image: 850px by 310px  Might be some ProBoards code kicking in when it exceeds our rules width/height on IE.  

Nevermind, I refreshed the page and now it is showing and smaller.
