Re: Signature(image)...

I added a code link to my signature box in order to exhibit an image and it will not come up. When reaccessing and trying to edit the signature box - it appears that the link is missing but is still showing the link in my posts.

What am I missing and could somebody please tell me how to correct. I know I look dumb but, for the life of me - I cannot rectifty this.

First, the missing syntax in your signature is probbly the result of the page not refresshing whenyou wnet to correct it. It didn't disappear until you clicked submit on the unrefreshed page which re-submitd the signature without the image.

Second, the IMG tags don't work in signatures so you have to use HTML's "IMG SRC" syntax to hotlink an image into your signature.

You can't use an image that is hotlink protected -- like those on Angelfire or geocities pages. Images on a slow server often won't load fast enough to display and you'll get a Red-X form the time out.

You can't use an image that isn't accssible to the BB software -- i.e. if you need a password to access the picture, Lit can't use it.


The best source for signture line imags is Literotica's attachment function because HTML doesn't require a direct URL to the image the way the IMG tags do.

For example, this is theURL to an attachment in the "How to make people laugh" thread: https://forum.literotica.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=8820390

To link that to your signature, use the following syntax:

<IMG SRC="https://forum.literotica.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=8820390">

Thank you very much, Harold. You have been very helpful and I see now what the problem is.
