What code do you transfer for signatures?

**RippleInStillWater** · 08-03-2010, 07:19 PM

I think I already requested this (but its not listed so maybe I worded or presented it wrong; maybe I tagged it, I can't remember and I can't see it) and here's my problem:

I deleted my V4L sig generator as it was always down (inaccessible to update) and was going to go with one from VaporNine but it will not work for some reason. At this point I am unsure of what or how much of the code to transfer to the URL line (right?) as the image isn't on my computer so it cannot be there.

The complete code is as follows:

I have tried different variations and shortenings of the line to no avail and I am very frustrated; I really like the forum (Supporting member! Y'all have saved me bucks and cost a couple, too -- lol) and just want to put my best face on, trying not to post too much stupid stuff and be helpful, but this vexes me like you wouldn't believe.

Please get back to me,
ty,
Bones

p.s. I can't be the only one who gets confused by this, it should have a 'Sticky' post of some kind, the whole sig thing confuses a lot of newbies -- and brain-damaged hippies!!!!

You had one too many URL tags in there. The code should look like this if you plan to have the image linked to a URL: (Replace the "()" with "[]" and take out spaces)

(URL="http: //sig . vapornine . com")(IMG)http: // sig . vapornine . com/ customSig.php?id=790(/IMG)(/URL)

I corrected it in your post above. If you click to edit your post, you can copy the code.

If you still have issues, let me know.

Since I had a free minute, I went ahead and corrected the sig for you.

Thank you so much -- as you can tell, code recognition is not one of my specialties and I'm not exactly sure what you did but I sure am glad you did it. Heck, I still push a pencil rather than using CAD -- its a bummer getting old!!!!!

I use AutoCAD just about every day, and have used it for nearly 15 years. I hated manual drafting, mostly because I suck at it, lol.

Hello, I'm having the same problem I changed brackets to [] and there are no spaces and it still doesn't work says invalid file?

If it's telling you that it's an invalid file, then you're trying to upload it like a picture, which is not the way to do it. You paste the code into the same field that you would type text.

I go into a little more detail here:
