Signature pics are limited to 30kb in total Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

yaay!!! thanks Hagar!!!

I'll probably have to ask you to do it again whenever I want to post soething Wink

You're welcome but the idea is for you to learn to do it yourself. You're obviously doing something wrong.

aargh, how weird!!!!

I looked at my sig and agreed with you, it should probably be aviation themed...

I didn't mean the subject. You can use any image you like & it doesn't have to be aviation-related. The size of your original image is completely unsuitable for a sig so I cropped the height to make it fit.

this is what I tried to post-

http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/SR2071theBlackbird.jpg ,except with img brackets around it.

Same old problem. That file appears to be corrupt & does not show up. I have no idea what you're doing wrong. Which program, if any, are you using to process your images?

This is the actual link. Click on it & all you get is a red cross. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/SR%252071theBlackbird.jpg
This might have nothing to do with the problem but remember what I said about spaces & percentage symbols in file names.

sorry

when i right click and go to properties for the image, it says kodak Easyshare, so I change that.
i don't think that's the problem though. When i googled SR-71 Blackbird, that image doesn't come up, so maybe it's not supported any more??

probably nto, but I'll experiment with different files and see what happens

thanks again
kevin

Please don't apologise. I'm not convinced you understand how this works. To post an image, any image, on this forum it must be in the correct format (JPEG or GIF) & conform to the forum rules. Sig images must be no more than 30 Kb. You can upload any image on your hard drive to the server providing it complies with the limits.

I downloaded your avatar image from the link you gave me by right-clicking on the image & selecting 'Save Picture As'. It was already in JPEG format but far too big. The file name is f-14-gul-sunrise2.jpg

I resized it to 100 pixels width in IrfanView & saved in JPEG format as tr-f-14.jpg - making sure the file size was less than 10Kb. I then uploaded tr-f-14.jpg to the Simviation server. Here's what we ended up with.

If you can't post the image in your topic it won't work as an avatar or sig.
