Ah thanks and I was gonna try URL tags but didn't know how to get to "html view". Well technically it's "bbcode view" Not used to these dumbed-down forums. I keed! I keed!

Here's a good list of most of the things you can do with tags, by the way. As for an image host there are many great free options to photobucket for the folks who may not be aware. One I prefer is imgur.com.

Beautiful high res banner, btw. I will swap mine out shortly. However, right now I need to fire up some Bad Company 2.

OK heres in depth how to link to a remote signature

First upload your banner to a site I choose photobucket. Once you do, copy the direct URL as shown below

THen go to settings on top of the ecf forum

Once you get to your settings menu select Edit Signature on the left

Then you will see the screen below

Select the icon in the corner showing two As as shown below

you will now see

Click on the image icon as shown

you will get a popup

paste in the URL you copied at the begining from photobucket and click the OK button

you will see

select all the text in the box and click the link ICON

Put http://www.backwoodsbrew.net in the box and press ok

now you see this

save the signature and you should be set.






NOTE: Please upload to your own photbucket and do not link from mine. Too many people doing this will use all my bandwidth.

Here is the Higher Def Banner if anyone want to use it.


Just remember to please host it on your own image share and not to link to mine

Here is a lower res and smaller dimension pic that will upload straight to ECF for those having trouble linking

I only got the counter thingy working once and then it wouldn't after a day. So I'm guess I'm good with knowing my anniversary date and also knowing I'll never go back to analogs. BTW.. my quit anniversary is tomorrow. Woo hoo!

I can't get my counter thingy to work either with the banner.

You have to take the link out of the bar and put it in as a image. it will look like this

Note the space in http:// This is so it will show up. Take it out you get

You HAVE to use goo.gl to shorten it otherwise the forum will not accept it.

You also have to LINK the image you CANNOT upload it to ECF

Possible to get a hi res of my current banner? Like it's layout better than the others.

I didnt make that one. I think whomever made the one Don and Whiskey have now might have. I could do a high res one if I had the original images. If I can find some similar I can probably come close to recreating it in High res.

Better to host your image on someplace like photobucket. ECF takes away alot of image properties and converts them. If you link it from another source that dosent happen.
