Adding Pictures to your signature About This Page:

Here's how to add pictures to your signature.

Go to My Home

Click on Edit Signature

Scroll down to the edit box, it looks like this:



There's 3 of those smaller boxes at the top you need to be familiar with for adding photos:



Now, if you click on the Insert Photo Icon, this window pops up:



Paste in the address of your photo (it must be uploaded to the internet somewhere, I use my personal domain instead of Passporter, but you can use this board to upload the pics). Click on OK and you get:



Now, if you want your photo on the left side and your text on the right instead of below your photo, then clear out the current picture (or start from scratch) and click on the Image Left button. You will see this:



Paste the address for your photo between the commands like this:



And you get:



If you want your photo on the right and the text on the left, clear out the photo and then click on the image right command. You will see:



Passte in the address between the commands again and you get:



If you want a photo on both sides of the text, Clear out the photos, Click on the image left command, enter the address of the photo, then click on the image right command and enter the photo address. I do one carriage return then enter the text you want between them. It should look something like this:



Hopefully, this will explain it for most of you. If you are having problems, let us know and we'll do what we can to help...

You need to upload the picture to the web somewhere.

What does that mean? Copy and paste from a website? I have it on Shutterfly, but it's not working that way either.

I'm having the same problem. I don't see all the windows you are displaying. My picture downloaded and it's there, but it's not showing up on my signature.

Sorry...I'm not very savvy on the computer. :-)

I read the Shutterfly comment on Jennifer's post (that it doesn't work). I'll try something else

I've uploaded my to the passporter site, but it still won't insert -- also, I can't see any of the icons on the edit sig. (or when I do posts) that are on Bill's example (the mountain, bold, etc.) all I have is a big white box I was able to make a link to my photo, but don't know the code to make it a photo.....

maybe not having the icons is why I've never been able to do photos in my posts!

all you have to do is wrap IMAGE tags around your link.
place [IMG*] before the link and [/IMG*] after the link and your picture will display.
remove the * between G and ]

example
[IMG*]http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/signaturepics/sigpic8896_12.gif[/IMG*]
becomes

once the two * are removed.

thanks -- now -- how do I get all those icons to show up so I can insert photos and format my posts?

Change Message Editor Interface to either Standard Editor or Enhanced Editor

That should give you the editing boxes...

I've got a little bitty photo that's 65 KB, definitely smaller than your requirements. I've read this thread and tried everything that's mentioned on it. I've saved the photo to Snapfish and tried pasting the photo location into the box, and I've tried adding [IMG*] before the file address and [/IMG*] after the file address. I've removed one asterisk, then tried removing the second asterisk. Every time, I get a message saying "Invalid."

How come so many PassPorter folks have photos, and I can't seem to do it? Please help! Thanks.

Snapfish is one of those places that doesn't leave the picture name as a jpg, so they can't be linked like some of the other sites.

You can upload it here and you won't have a problem with it, I'm sure.

What do you mean by "upload it here"? Can I right-click on the photo and paste it somewhere on the PassPorterBoards? If so, where? Sorry to be so dense, but I've had tech people in my office and they can't figure it out either. Thanks.

To upload it here, you'll generate a message in The Driveway: Testing Grounds, titling it "uploading photo", then click preview post button.

Now, at the next screen, scroll down to the box that says "attach files" Click on "Manage Attachments" and a new screen will come up. Follow the instructions there, clicking on browse to find the picture on your computer, then upload when you find it.

The file will appear just above the click attachments button when it's loaded.

Click on the Submit Reply/Message button to post the message.

Once the message is posted, you will see an thumbnail of your picture at the bottom of the text (remember to put some text in the message box part of the message).

Click on the thumbnail and it will take you to the picture, full size. Copy the address in the top of your browser, it will look something like this;

If this photo is for your signature, click on MY HOME and go into the edit area for your signature. Place the cursor where you want the picture to go, click on the mountain icon just above the edit window, and enter the address for the picture you just copied. When you click the enter button, you should see the picture in the preview.

So the entry will look like this;
