Unclear re signatures

There's a field for text sigs. Okay I've been using that.

But there's a section to upload or link to graphics. That doesn't seem to work for me.

Help pages do not go into depths regarding the rules for sigs. Is it one or the other? One and the other? Is there a setting elsewhere in the CP to activate the graphic?

This might help - found it under "FAQ" at the top of the page....

How do I get that picture under my name?

First you need a picture that is no bigger than 64 x 64 pixels or 2000 bytes whichever is smaller and save it to your webspace or another host. Next from the ToonTown Central home page click on User CP at the top then on Edit Options and finally on Change Avatar at the bottom of the page. Finally in the space provided enter the url to the saved image and click on Submit Modifications. Note the "Upload avatar from your computer" option is disabled at this time. Once saved the image will appear under your name on the left side of every post for everyone to ooo!

You could upload your image to the Toontown Gallery, and then retrieve it from there. Certain other web picture hosting sites will not work here. Oh and yes you can have text and a picture, but it mustn't be too long or you will get a warning from the mods to reduce/remove it.

When you upload your image, you must make sure it follows the guidelines listed below the "browse" button:

Quote:

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 200 pixels or 195.3 KB (whichever is smaller).

Also make sure your file type is supported. I can't remember exactly which image types are supported, but I know .bmp is not. When you try to upload your image, it should tell you why it didn't work if it doesn't upload. Once you have successfully uploaded the image, you have to click the link right next to the image that says, "Insert Signature Picture." This will insert the [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] tags into the text box and you can add text around the image.

Please remember that the entire signature has a maximum size of 500x200 (approximately 10 lines of size 2 text). If your image is 500x200 by itself, you should not be entering further text around it.
