I want to put a better pic of my max on my signature, but when ever I try to do this, i get an error message saying the pic I am trying to use is over 50mb, and it wont let me use it! Can anybody help me?

 

cant help with what your lookin for...but nice car,see your new to this,BTW no GLE's until 95

 

50mb, yikes, thats a big pic.

its 50kb. you simply have to use a picture less than 50kb, or 50,000 bytes. you can reduce size by a number of ways. try reducing size, resolution, or color depth, or any combination of those i mentioned. also try increasing the compression value for the pic. any of the procedures can be accomplished with a standard image editor. paint shop pro is a good choice. its free and found at www.jasc.com.

if worst to worst, you can send me the pic and ill get it under 50k.

walka

 

GXE is what I meant to put!

 

i made the same guess when i first came here to the wonderful world of maxima enthusiasts!

 

how do you put pics in your sig?

 

read teh vbCode Reference link in the top right hand corner of the screen

then try it out in the test forum

 

ok thanks

 

I tried but I don't understand and it's making me feel like a dummy . I have a jpg that I want to put in my sig but I can't figure out how. Does it have to be hosted on the web??

 

Yeah, it has to be hosted somewhere on a website/webserver that allows "remote linking" (that will let the pic show up). Some webservers (like Lordrandall's Dreamwater site) won't let you do this, and I think all you get is a big X or the link in text. I think the code you need is just like for any other linked pic in the body of the post (I think it's the "IMG" button when you post). You just have to stick that in your sig I think....

"I think" "I think"... maybe you shouldn't listen to me!

 

I e:mailed Donald cause he hosted the pic for me but haven't heard back yet so I guess I need to wait to hear from him to figure it out. Thanks, though, I think I have an idea now of why it won't work...

 

 

 

Anytime plair.
